Hi Canberra mums, can anyone provide recommendations for the best care providers in Canberra/Queanbeyan to take my VBAC journey with? Specifically chiropractors, naturopaths, doulas, acupuncturists and massage therapists? Many, many thanks!

Doula recommendations -
Have just found out we're expecting baby number 2.
I had a very "holistic" approach to my first pregnancy & birth - which in the end gave me great results & a fantastic birth expirence.
Our birth educators had advised us of a doula - but we didn't feel we required one.
This time around I'm thinking it'll be beneficial as my husband will be a little pre occupied with child#1.
I'm looking for someone who preferably has understanding of 'SheBirths' - the birthing class & approach we adapted last time.
Someone who will help me keep my goals on track, attend appointment with me etc.
Would love to know other peoples experiences (both good & bad!), recommendations, cost involved & anything else.
Not interested in CalmBirths.
Thank you

Hi CMs,
I have found out we are expecting bub number 2 early next year. I will be birthing at Queanbeyan Hospital and wanted to know if any other mums who have had bubs there used a doula. I am thinking of using one as a support person/tag team during labour etc. After any experiences. Also I will be trying for a VBAC. Considering Qbn is low risk, did any mums attempt a water VBAC? Will be discussing all this with my doctor, just after experience s/advice. I like to be prepared! Thanks.

Thanks Jayd :-) I'm a student doula and have completed my theory and 3 births so far. 2 of these have been vbacs (1 of which was a water birth). I hear QBN hospital is amazing but I haven't had the opportunity to support anyone birthing there yet. I'd love to meet with you and see if we can work together.

Hi CM's,
I'm just wondering if anyone has had a successful VBAC2C?
Which hospital did you go through? And did you have to fight with the Dr's to be able to have it? I really want to deliver this baby naturally.
Thanks in advance.
