Title: The Vbac Companion: The Expectant Mother's Guide to Vaginal Birth After Cesarean by Diana Korte ISBN: 1-55832-129-2 Publisher: Harvard Common Pr Pub. Date: January, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |

Summary: Understandable and thoroughly researched, very encouraging
Comment: This book explains why a VBAC is better than a repeat c-section. It gives suggestions on how to prevent another emergency c/s. (Who wants to labor for half a day only to end up with major surgery again?) I am constantly using this book as reference material to assure moms that wanting a VBAC is not being selfish. It is usually the healthiest birth possible for both mom and baby. Even if you are destined for another c/s, this book gives ideas to make the event more of a birth and less of a surgical procedure.
Rating: 3
Summary: All or nothing approach discouraging
Comment: I read this book expecting some hints on labor positions and other things that would make labor easier and make it less likely for me to have another c-section. What I found was a very all or nothing approach that made it seem that the healthcare profession (doctors, nurses, and hospitals) were against VBAC attempts and only midwifes and birthing centers were pro-VBAC. Since this is definitely not the case with me, I couldn't relate to the book and found myself getting frustrated with the assumptions the author made.
While I'm still going to attempt my VBAC, I will do so without the help of this book. I had heard great things about it, and was very disappointed with the overall tone of the book when I read it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Better than other reviewers say it is!
Comment: I didn't purchase this book due to some of the negative comments it received. Instead, I borrowed it from the library. After reading it, I feel that it is a VERY informative book giving both sides of the story, which is incredibly important in making informed decisions about such a controversial topic. I think it is supportive and helps you see that even if you don't achieve a VBAC in the end, you are not a failure. The personal VBAC stories were particularaly empowering, and her explanation of statistics used in literature were also very supportive. Buy this book, I am going to, just to get me through the rest of this 2nd pregnancy!
