About Me

VBAC Lady
Buffalo, New York, United States
In May, 2003 my daughter was born via Cesarean Section. Sure, she was healthy and perfect, but I was devistated that I could not give the gift of birth to my daughter. What a failure I must be - to not even be able to try to push. Now, my goal is to provide all the education and support to women who want it and to make for damn sure that no more woman have to feel the failure and degredation that I and so many other women have experienced by giving up control of their births to doctors who are under time budgets and insurance constraints.
