VBAC!  I attended this labor for about 10 hours until her midwife could come.  It sure was strange to not be there for the birth, but my help was no longer needed by then.  I’m really grateful for a community of midwives so we can help each other out like this.

From Patrice: This family was planning a hospital birth up until 38.3 wks.  The hospital and doctor began to question their birth plan (agreed to early in the pregnancy) and instilled  doubt that it would be followed.  So~ this couple sought out good midwifery care and had a lovely waterbirth.
