B.A.C to Normality Midwifery Services

When planning a VBAC/HBAC you need to first read, read, and read some more.  Only then will you get to make a fully informed choice in respect of your birth plans.  If you have not already started, please do look at these—if you have anything to add—please do contact me, I am always happy to add more research.  Mand xx

This Facebook page has all the latest research and lots of interesting articles—do come and join and “like” me.

These are all websites I would recommend to anyone looking for good evidence based information:

 

http://www.homebirth.org.uk/  This site is an excellent start to find good evidence, don’t be put off by ‘homebirth’ as a lot of the information is equally relevant to hospital births as well.

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ukvbachbac/ 

http://www.caesarean.org.uk/index.html

When researching your VBAC

or HBAC these sites/forum has a mix of Midwives, Doula’s and women like yourself looking for information.  Anecdotal evidence in bucket loads, successful birth stories and pitfalls you could avoid.

http://www.independentmidwives.org.uk/  This is the national site for IM UK, for which I am affiliated.  Find an IM in your area, ring and have a chat.

http://www.aims.org.uk/  These are the people that can help you get what you want from the NHS, a wealth of experience and they will tell you your rights!
