Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi! That is awesome that you had a homebirth both VBAC and after being 5 months out of WLS! What state do you live in? I was going to have my last son at home.. but we ended up having to induce at the hospital. I was all set for it. I pretty much thought that I couldn't do it this time around.. because I had a hard time finding a midwife that was even willing to attempt a homebirth VBAC. I know that the laws are different for different states.. I am in Michigan.. and last time I was looking around I seem to remember there being a lot more midwives in Ohio because the laws were different somehow. I think that it's wonderful that you were at home.. it must have been the most memorable experience of your life. I am so excited that there might be a possibility for me! Congrats again!

Heh...well, I was 5 months out when I concieved... I was 13 months out when he was actually born. *wink* > What state do you live in? I'm in Arizona... > I know > that the laws are different for different states.. I am in Michigan.. In Arizona, in order for a midwife to attend a VBAC at home, there must be a physician present. I happened to know of a physician that does homebirth VBACs here. =) so I had a homebirth midwife for all of my care... and when I neared transition we called the physician to my home...she witnessed the birth... then the midwife took over again. =) I > think that it's wonderful that you were at home.. it must have been > the most memorable experience of your life.

I just think it's awesome whenever any mother is able to have the type of birth she's hoping for...whether it's a homebirth or a surgical birth...*nods* I hope you get the type of birth you are dreaming of this time! =) Soderblom CCCE CD(DONA) CLD CAAC Student Midwife - Mesa, AZ CAPPA Board of Directors Doula/CBE/Pregnancy/Birth Photography Owner: Birth Story Diaries - real births, real photos http://www.birthdiaries.com Owner: SouthwestDoulas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
