It has taken me a while to finish compiling this list of links, between a post-op infection behind my belly button (I had my gallbladder removed almost 6 weeks ago) and now pharyngitis (a throat infection) while looking after 3 children under 4 years old while my husband works I just haven't had the chance to do it before now.
So without further ado here are the links relating to vaginal birth after birth trauma - mostly after birth trauma resulting from cesarean, but there are some that are also relevant to vaginal delivery after a traumatic vaginal delivery.
