This is another one of the must have's for all families embarking on life after a caesarean. It answers unknowns that you have from the birth. Silent Knife also answers the what can I do next times, and the what could have happened differently. I read this book first when I was preparing for my VBAC. I found that this combined with "A Thinking Woman's Guide to Better Birth" by Henci Goer were the invaluable information I needed to begin my journey.

I had a fantastic VBAC empowering experience and I don't doubt that without building me & my support team up with invaluable knowledge helped tremendously.

I loved it! I have a borrowed copy from my midwife centre and it is chock full of post it notes because it has so much helpful information as well as inspirational stories. I wish I had read it before I gave birth to Noah. It has many helpful hints and tips that I will be using to help me create my birth plan.
