Expert Profile: Elayne Glantzberg

Expertise: I can answer questions on a wide variety of childbirth topics, including natural childbirth, c-sections, VBACs, and more.

Experience in the area
I have six children. My triplets were born by c-section, my fourth child was an attempted VBAC turned c-section, and my fifth child was a planned, unassisted birth center VBA2C. My sixth child was born in 2008 at home. I have done extensive research on pregnancy and birth, and I have dealt with a wide spectrum of interventions and complications.

Education/Credentials
I have the ability to do my own research and gather data to make an informed choice.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: A c-section is major surgery with major risks; it's not like getting your appendix out.

What do you like about this subject? Who doesn't love bringing a new life into the world? I just wish that I could tell everybody the things I have learned the hard way through my three births.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I would really love to start my own childbirth education classes.
