No controversy, just information! Today a very determined woman gave birth at our local teaching hospital after 3 previous caesareans, no labours, and LOTS of negative harrassment at A/N.clinic. She was supported by a homebirth midwife who was constrained by protocols, to birth in the hospital and ended up with a VBAC vacuum with episiotomy. she feels TRIUMPHANT! a girl after 3 boys and birthed an 8lbs plus baby. (sorry about the imperial weight) Congratulations to the hospital midwives who supported her and the homebirth midwife who stepped in just 5 days ago as a replacement midwife. The rules were: IV bung, continuous fetal monitoring and one other rule that I have forgotten.(my brain is in overload..I also had a 36 wk labour and birth in the same hospital early today.. not easy but all was well in the end. thanks midwives of the labour ward, room 19). regards, MM . >
