Here are a few words from Pr Mavis Kirkham, Sheffield Hallam University :

"This book presents a wealth of information, whilst being very user friendly. It is clearly written and thoroughly but unobtrusively referenced. Statistics are presented which clearly illuminate the arguments. Research evidence is well presented (...). Yet there is a limit to what statistics and research can show. Stories tell so much that statistics cannot convey : the variety and nuances of women's experiences and responses to their experience. The great variety of women's VBAC stories told here is fundamental to the structure of the book. There is a big difference between choosing a VBAC and achieving one and the chapters on creating a supportive environment and making wise decisions during labour are also immensely helpful, as are the useful contacts listed"

A few words from Pr Soo Downe, University of Central Lancashire :

"This book is important because it combines a heart, head and hands approach (...). This book promises to be useful for many people - for individual women (and their partners) certainly, but also for maternity care staff and services committed to improve maternity care overall".

And a few words from Nina Klose, a VBAC mother :

"The gift of a good birth is worth dreaming and fighting for with every child. This book can help you heal the inner scars that a caesarean may leave behind. It'll also help you prepare and inform yourself to make a different journey with your next birth".
