I wanted to make sure that I documented this wonderful client. Here I am with mother, new baby Rebecca (yes, they named the baby Rebecca) and the new big sister Cambree. This was Ramona's fourth baby and 3rd vaginal birth. Amazingly, I got a call from Ramona when she was 37 weeks. She was looking for help. She was being released from care by her Doctor in Utah because she was a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Even though Ramona had previously delivered 2 babies vaginally since her C-section over 12 years ago. The C-section was performed b/c her first little guy was Breech, and for a first time mother this contraindicates a vaginal birth...even in the home birth setting. At 37 weeks the doctor had his assistant call my client to inform her that she would not be able to deliver in their hospital because of her previous Cesarean. Despite the fact the last vaginal birth (Cambree) had actually occurred at the very hospital that refused to deliver her. What nerve! So, needless to say I was happy to help. We quickly got to know each other and a few weeks later Ramona had a beautiful, gentle birth in her own bedroom, gracefully birthing Rebecca into the world. Congratulations to every VBAC mama out there...you rock!
