It should be the woman's choice where she gives birth having made an informed choice. No woman should be forced to have a home birth because she is unable to gain admission to a birth centre. This applies to all birth centres not just the one at the Rosie.

Labour's without stress tend to go smoother. Forcing those who want to birth in the midwife unit into the more clinical situation of the consultant led unit will only hinder a vbac, potentially leading to another unwanted c section and the emotional fall out that may bring. It's not like the two units are miles apart should a transfer be required!

I am in this situation and would much prefer to be in the birth centre but I have been told I'm not allowed. As I still find the idea on the delivery unit emotional as I had a emergency c section .

I hope we are able to share this with as many ladies as possible, this a woman's right and as we are the ones going through the labour.

Being forced to be monitored in the delivery unit as a potential VBAC mother hinders an active labour massively

Having had the privilege of supporting a mum (as her Doula) to have her VBAC at the Rosie Birth Centre, and knowing the difficult but worthwhile process she had to experience to do so, I completely back this brilliant movement.

A really feel strong a mum to be should be able to choose where she feels safe to have her baby, surly that's less distress so safer for every one. I was lucky to have both mine at the rose & would feel very uncomfortable the thought if giving birth to a child any where else!

It's time to increase the VBAC rate by enabling women to give birth in an environment they feel comfortable in, as they do elsewhere in the UK
