About her VBA2C, Chloe says,
“I’ve been dreaming of my VBAC for 8 years. When my HBAC turned into a scheduled CBAC, I wasn’t even sure I’d get the option to have a VBA2C. It took a lot of planning & hard work & I knew as a first time labouring mom ... more

Why is it that most avenues of healthcare delay preventative intervention, but when it comes to birth, there is so much more of a fear-based “just in case” mindset? Elisabeth, her doula (and our TVL team member!) Ashley Marg, and Julie Francom talk a... more

- I GOT MY VBAC!!
Listening to these stories and learning from all of these amazing women played such an immense part in attaining my VBAC this year. I had a home birth and felt like I brought in the strength of all the women’s stories I listened to with me during those moments of doubt during my birth. Thank you to the creators of this podcast and the strong mothers who share these intimate stories with us. My life is forever changed.

United Statesa month ago - The best thing I did to prepare for my vbac was listen to this podcast
After PROM, induction and csection with my first baby, I left the birth experience with a distrust in my body’s ability to labour and a feeling of failure in my ability to cope. My mother in law had a vbac after my husband was delivered via csection and that put the thought in my head. I listened to your podcast and decided I had to go all in. On your advice, I hired a doula, threw myself into research, started self-advocating and started mindset preparation. I chose to birth outside NHS guideli... more

United Kingdoma month ago - VBAC
I am so grateful for this podcast. I listened to so many episodes after having an emergency c section for a breech baby. I was terrified to give birth again because I didn’t want a c section and a Vbac seemed scary. (I knew two people who had uterine ruptures). However, the evidence based research and stories helped me figure out the right choice for myself and taught me to advocate for myself which was helpful after having another breech baby! I’m grateful to say that God gave me the VBAC I had... more
Apple Podcasts5Cassie Schmitt-MatzenUnited States2 months ago - The inspiration and support you’re looking for.
I listened to this podcast nonstop after my first pregnancy ended up in a cesarean. I was so completely disappointed and surprised to have had the cesarean that I decided I would stop at nothing to get a VBAC. This podcast, the Women of Strength before me, the valuable education and support that Julie and Meagan provide in each and every episode is without a doubt the reason I had a successful HBAC this last April! I feel so complete in my birth journey and so thankful for this podcast as it was... more
Apple Podcasts5مريم النسيمUnited States2 months ago - Inspiring and Educational!
I stared listening to this podcast a few months before the birth of my second baby. I knew I wanted to attempt a VBAC and hearing all the different success stories and scenarios helped me feel so educated and empowered to believe in myself and my body, even when I knew I was bound to have another big baby (over 9lbs), I was able to maintain a calm and determined mindset going into labor and was successful with my VBAC!!! Thank you for sharing this stories and providing so much insight into birth... more
