ICAN of Austin

Several women met today with the intention of forming an Austin chapter of the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN). With the C/section rate rising every year here in Austin and around the country, and the nearly impossible challenge of finding a doctor who will help a woman have a VBAC, it is high time we have this kind of support group in Austin. Fortunately there are many people who are interested in helping this new ICAN group become a thriving entity. Please stay tuned for the date and time of the next meeting. We are planning to have monthly meetings with many topics including specific questions to ask care providers, what partners can do to be extra supportive to VBAC mamas, and true informed choice.
