Our Three Children

Tim Dolan. J Perinat Educ. 2016.

Abstract

In this column, a father shares fond memories of the births of his three children in the 1970s. His story highlights the importance of knowledge and a willingness to speak up to have a positive birth experience. Although the births-an unexpected cesarean, a vaginal birth after cesarean, and a home birth-took place decades ago, the choices this couple faced and the challenges they experienced are not too different from today.

Keywords: VBAC; cesarean; home birth.
