For those with allergies, please note that there are 2 cats at this home. They are not normally allowed to be in the office, so there is very little dander. If you're not severely allergic to cats, you'll probably be OK.

In America today, cesarean rates are over 30%, yet many of those performed are medically unnecessary. Women are often shocked or surprised at their cesarean experience and wish to avoid a repeat surgery with their next baby. Studies show that at least 75% of women who attempt Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) can succeed. Yet, today in our country, only 10% actually do.
The International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve maternal-child health by preventing unnecessary cesareans through education, providing support for cesarean recovery, and promoting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC).
