Hi Lonnie-
I would love to attempt a VBAC with my next baby (starting to think about TTC) and am very interested in a water birth.  At the minimum, I would like to labor in a tub and wouldn't mind birthing wherever (and however!) I needed to.  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.  No pain relief, no support, and 18 hrs later...section. 
So.
Does Palisades allow and have the facilities for VBAC laboring in a tub? 
Thanks--
Tricia

At Palisades VBACs may shower, walk around and once we have a tub will be allowed to use the tub.  My struggle right now is to get them to purchase a tub.  I am hopeful that it will happen in the next few weeks.  Lonnie
