She had a c-section with her first baby, and isn't sure if she will try for a vbac or not next time. So just in case she doesn't, those are some great tips for making a c-section less of a "procedure", and more of a birth. :) I also am going to dig up some resources about vbac's for her though.lauraleightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010371194263373593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-19058663555261139312011-05-04T23:49:21.206-04:002011-05-04T23:49:21.206-04:00How does a doula help during c/s birth?

I've never had one before and it's most definitely medically necessary due to a neural tube defect. He'll be having brain surgery about 24 hours after birth, so it's important that his head not be compressed through the birth canal. <br /><br />I love the many things Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667772171360379262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-44166904100052613892011-05-03T22:54:47.324-04:002011-05-03T22:54:47.324-04:00Great and informative post!
