One of my best friends in Australia just had a VBAC - I was a bit worried about her actually... her first baby was over 11lb and had the cord wrapped around his neck a few times - she wanted to have him naturally but it was progressing really slow and he started to go into distress or something, so she had to have a c-section...
Her second one, she decided to have a home birth!! I thought "good on her" - but at the same time, it's a bit scary not being in a hospital setting when her first one had those complications though!! But in the end, she did great and gave birth to a healthy 9 1/2 lb son naturally, no pain meds or anything!! AND at home too!!
From what I've heard, the Hong Kong system is less supportive of mothers wanting to go naturally - although you've probably got a better chance with a private doctor in a private hospital...
Also, I'm due in October as well - go check out our due date club and maybe you can come to one of our get togethers some time!!
