Thanks for the list! I'm hoping I can convince my DH to let me HBAC next time. Both of our moms have worked in hospitals, so we hear all the horror stories of births gone bad (probably because they were in the hospital).

After reading some of the information, I'm beginning to rethink the whole nuchal(sp?) fold testing I had last time in lieu of alpha-fetal protein. Hmmm.

Anyway, thanks again!
