I needed to.&nbsp; My first birth ended up in a C-section partly because Mountainside Hospital wouldn't let me use the birthing tub for pain relief and the shower in my room was broken.&nbsp; No pain relief, no support, and 18 hrs later...section.&nbsp; <br>So. <br>Does Palisades allow and have the facilities for VBAC laboring in a tub?&nbsp; <br>Thanks--<br>Tricia<br><br> <p>Forum: <a href="http://fmsones.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=118631">Preparing for a Beautiful Birth</a> http://fmsones.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2760969 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:08:29 GMT Tricia
