(Somewhat) Recommended Reading

I'd like to sing the praises of The VBAC Companion by Diana Korte, but the thing was written in 1997! Recommendations for vbacs were different then (hello Pitocin everywhere!) and at the time vbac was being encouraged and supported by insurance companies and doctors. So things have changed. I'm on the hunt for a more current vbac book, but in the mean time this one is worth reading if you want a vbac. It gives good insight on how to choose a care provider and birth location and there are snippets of birth stories throughout it.

As Diana herself says in the introduction, "Take only what you want from this book, and ignore the rest"
