Future topics I would love to hear discussed

I enjoy this perspective of hearing each side. Thanks for doing this. I would love to hear about how to prepare and have a VBAC, how to turn a baby, how to prevent a preemie birth, and about avulsion. I can’t find much information of the later but according to my medical records that’s what happened to me when my breech baby came at 36 weeks and was born by c-section.
