I am SO glad things have changed! My mother told me that when my oldest sister was born in St. Louis in 1953, she was strapped (yes, strapped down) flat to a metal gurney in a hallway full of other women in labor.

years ago I delivered a few babies in Brazil...that is not my calling...only have to cases. In fact it is really against the law to have babies at home in brazil.

If you have an emergency c-section then then you can't have a vback. If you have a transverse cut then it is safe to do a vback. A vaginal birth is natural and what you body is made to do. A c-section is a wonderful thing if a normal birth is not available, but it is very hard on your body. They remove your insides and put them back and tack up your bladder and other things. Over time this takes quite a toll on your body. I don't believe c-sections should be done unless absolutely necessary. A lot of doctors don't want to wait for a baby to be born so they have the women induced with pitossin which is harmful and can cause rupture. When the women don't go into labor they then decide they need c-sections. Doctors make more money on c-sections then they do a normal delivery. Many c-sections are pushed that are unnecessary. My sixth child had one foot stuck in my pelvis and one foot stuck in my rib cage there is no way she would have come out naturally. Thank God for c-sections. I just think they need to be done for the right reasons.
One doctor wanted to watch a football game and got impatient. He used forceps to get the baby out. The forceps tore the baby's ear and cut it's face, all because the doctor is impatient. Most women do not understand the birthing process and believe whatever the doctors tell them. I did with my first one and ended up with a c-section and never wanting another child. I had a friend educate me on the whole birthing experience and now have 7 with another one on the way. I actually love to go through labor and look forward to it. It is natural, normal and the way God made it. I have had really good doctors too, but I love having a home birth with a midwife. I won't be able to have any more home births but I am excited about doing a vback in the hospital.
