My Inspiration
I found this video on Mothering tonight and was blown away by its beauty! This is my inspiration, along with all the other wonderful homebirth stories I have been reading. But Lindsey and I have something in common. I have experienced a Cesarean (as did she) and I am ready for a VBAC! (I am NOT telling you I am pregnant...sorry) :) I am getting educated and healthy and if anyone has any good reads or advice as far as VBAC or preferably HBAC, please let me know. thanks!...and enjoy the video.

your timing is perfect: just last night i was reading natural birth stories from our local birth center to educate and prepare and inspire me. we aren't pregnant, either, but i look forward to a minimal intervention birth next time. :) you can have it, i can have it, i just know it.
watching the video now.
Steph- completely unrelated - but are you going to be at the Market Day this weekend? I think Allison La Duke and I might check it out :)

Gaining wisdom/knowledge and inspiration is so important in your birthing journey!

thanks Sara. Yes, I have looked at the icaniowa website. We are moving back to Des MOines next year and I look forward to checking out the meetings. thanks.
Kelli- Yes I will be at Market DAy. I will make a post about it soon. So gla dyou will be there! :)
I didn't get a chance to look at the video but I have heard from a lot of women who have had c-sections trying to get VBAC's and many hospitals, especially in Iowa, won't even attempt to do them. I guess there is some test now that will measure your uterine wall lining to see if it's safe but I don't know how willing doctor's are to do that as of now. It sucks. I don't know very much about home births so I can't give you much advice on that. Just stay positive and you can do it!
oh I WILL find a way! :)
Well, we are pregnant and I will be attempting a VBAC. I am so excited about the experience before me. Thanks for the video. I have a great team of midwives and a very supportive husband and can't wait until May to hopefully experience Natural Childbirth.
Wow! That video was really good! Well a lot of my friends have had c-section and they say they are HORRIBLE! Plus they say the recovery is even worse. I have given birth to two babies naturally and I am so thankful for it! I hope and pray that you can do a VBAC. I am sure if you are determined enough you will be able to. Just pray about it and God will work it out- He always does! I just saw your post on Facebook so I started to read the rest of your blog. Your little guy is SO CUTE! I have a blog too where I post videos of my kids for our family who live far away. If you want to read it just send me your email address and I can add you (ryanmollymeyer@msn.com). I have it set to private. Otherwise thanks for sharing your wonderful blog. You are so crafty! :)
What a beautiful and inspiring video. Thanks for sharing!
