ICAN-International Cesarean Awareness Network

I LOVE this organization ICAN but rarely have blown its horn ‘toot toot!’ but, this was a video that was shown at the Trust Birth Conference which made me laugh and cry and applaud and stamp my feet…really.

Firstly: Please click here for more info on CPD (Cephalopelvic Disproportion)
Cephalopelvic Disproportion is rare yet is vastly overdiagnosed. Here are the stories of a few women who were told their babies were too big for their pelvises by one care provider, but fortunately sought a second opinion and subsequently birthed an even BIGGER baby through that same “small” pelvis.
VBAC = vaginal birth after cesarean
HBAC = homebirth after cesarean
HBA3C = homebirth after 3 cesareans
UBA2C = unassisted birth after 2 cesareans

and there’s a new video on the ICAN site that is just as good VBAC after multiple cesareans

Enjoy!

Love,
Heather
