Publisher's summary

On the joyful day of her son’s birth, Thais Derich never questioned going to the hospital. A week later, she walked out physically, spiritually, and emotionally injured and fully disabused of the idea that the medical field would ever put her best interests before protocol, money, and legal concerns. The next three years of her life were spent recovering from that day and preparing herself to do things her way when she became pregnant again. And then she did get pregnant again, and that resolve was put to the test.

A universal story about betrayal and trust and the roller-coaster ride in between, Second Chance illuminates the many ways in which our healthcare system is broken when it comes to helping women give birth. It gives a voice to all the mothers who have walked away from their delivery experiences wondering what the hell just happened.

Beautiful story

I listened to this book as part of a doula training course and I wholeheartedly recommend it!! Talk about a triumphant vbac journey! Honest and raw. Highly recommend to anyone training in the birth field and any mother curious about exploring her birth options.

Great read for VBAC moms

The authors images and descriptions are moving. I enjoyed the contrast of her two birth and appalls her for finding her inner strength!
