Hi, Nicole,
VBAC stands for Vaginal Birth After Caesarian. Not many hospitals will
accommodate a woman wanting to give birth vaginally after a caesarian,
quoting it too dangerous and that it could lead to uterine rupture, but the
research literature supports VBAC and found it to be no more dangerous than
normal birth. Go to any of the childbirth websites to find out more. Hope
this helps.

Periconceptional supplementation with folate and/or multivitamins

BACKGROUND: Neural tube defects arise during the development of the
brain and spinal cord. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to
assess the effects of increased consumption of folate or multivitamins on
the prevalence of neural tube defects periconceptionally (that is before
pregnancy and in the first two months of pregnancy). SEARCH STRATEGY: We
searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register. Date
of last search: April 2001. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and
quasi-randomised trials comparing periconceptional supplementation by
multivitamins with placebo, folate with placebo, or multivitamins with
folate; different dosages of multivitamins or folate; prepregnancy dietary
advice and counselling in primary care settings to increase the consumption
of folate-rich foods, or folate-fortified foods, with standard care;
increased intensity of information provision with standard public health
dissemination. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers assessed trial
quality and extracted data. MAIN RESULTS: Four trials of supplementation
involving 6425 women were included. The trials all addressed the question
of
supplementation and they were of variable quality. Periconceptional folate
supplementation reduced the incidence of neural tube defects (relative risk
0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.13 to 0.58). Folate supplementation did not
significantly increase miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or stillbirth,
although there was a possible increase in multiple gestation. Multivitamins
alone were not associated with prevention of neural tube defects and did
not
produce additional preventive effects when given with folate. One
dissemination trial, a community randomi

Periconceptional supplementation with folate and/or multivitamins for preventing neural tube defects. Lumley J, Watson L, Watson M, Bower C. Centre for the Study of Mothers' and Children's Health, La Trobe University, 251 Faraday St, Carlton, Vic, Australia, 3053. [EMAIL PROTECTED] BACKGROUND: Neural tube defects arise during the development of the brain and spinal cord. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of increased consumption of folate or multivitamins on the prevalence of neural tube defects periconceptionally (that is before pregnancy and in the first two months of pregnancy). SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register. Date of last search: April 2001. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and quasi-randomised trials comparing periconceptional supplementation by multivitamins with placebo, folate with placebo, or multivitamins with folate; different dosages of multivitamins or folate; prepregnancy dietary advice and counselling in primary care settings to increase the consumption of folate-rich foods, or folate-fortified foods, with standard care; increased intensity of information provision with standard public health dissemination. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers assessed trial quality and extracted data. MAIN RESULTS: Four trials of supplementation involving 6425 women were included. The trials all addressed the question of supplementation and they were of variable quality. Periconceptional folate supplementation reduced the incidence of neural tube defects (relative risk 0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.13 to 0.58). Folate supplementation did not significantly increase miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or stillbirth, although there was a possible increase in multiple gestation. Multivitamins alone were not associated with prevention of neural tube defects and did not produce additional preventive effects when given with folate. One dissemination trial, a community randomised trial, was identified involving six communities, matched in pairs, and where 1206 women of child-bearing age were interviewed following the dissemination intervention. This showed that the provision of printed material increased the awareness of the folate/neural tube defects association by 4%, (odds ratio 1.37, 95% confidence interval 1.33 to 1.42). REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: Periconceptional folate supplementation has a strong protective effect against neural tube defects. Information about folate should be made more widely available throughout the health and education systems. Women whose fetuses or babies have neural tube defects should be advised of the risk of recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy and offered continuing folate supplementation. The benefits and risks of fortifying basic food stuffs, such as flour, with added folate remain unresolved.

Hi Penny - she would be very welcome at Selangor, but Nambour is a little far from Cairns!

Re: [ozmidwifery] VBAC in Qld?
The place everyone will suggest is Selangor which is private. QLD leads Australia's c-sec rate so VBAC is really hard to get up there without travelling. I wish her luck and home birth vibes since that's her safest bet. She may find a doula near where she is but an entire hospital which actively and truly supports and promotes VBAC is not in existence. At most she may find occasional supportive practitioners and those can be located through contacting the many consumer birth groups in Brisbane. There's a prog at RBWH (Pegasus? Phoenix? Some mythical beast...) which takes VBACs and women are largely seen by MWs but at 27 weeks she will probably have trouble getting in. There's a waiting list. MC would be able to help too especially Cas McCullough who had a VBA2C at Selangor. She may have more details of evidence based CPs who support women to birth after surgery. It's a really hard path to try in any hospital let alone in QLD.
