I had two VBACs with wonderful midwives in Portland.  The whole experience was  wonderful and I can never praise them enough for the wonderful way my family and I were treated by the entire staff there.  I was never made to feel like a burden, unlike my first birth at a hospital  in Oregon or my misciarrage at a hospital in Idaho.    I like to be able to birth with people I have known my entire pregnacy or in the case of my second VBAC I had known many of them since my first VBAC. 

Woman should have the right to get informed of their choices the pros and cons of any decision they make and then make that decision for themselves and their families.
