Celebrating 30 Years of ICAN: 30 Quotes

“My body can’t labor and give birth like other women’s bodies. Many women who have had cesareans believe this; it’s almost as if the experience left that message deep in their cells. Remember that every year around the world hundreds of thousands of women give birth by VBAC. Your body still remembers how to labor and give birth.  Your baby–like all babies, if given the opportunity–will start the contractions, working in harmony with the hormones that instigate and maintain labor.”

~Diana Korte, The VBAC Companion. From the chapter entitled “Overcome Your Fears of Having a VBAC.”
