- Phenomenal people and content
This podcast was a treasure trove of information and empowering insights which ultimately helped me achieve my VBAC in April 2026. Listening to the ladies on here inspired me to get a doula, change providers and go into birth armed with knowledge. I owe my wonderful birth experience to this podcast and highly recommend it to all parents-to-be. Keep up the phenomenal work!

United Statesa month ago - Love the VBAC link!
As a birth doula, I found The VBAC Link podcast after my first VBAC client recommended it to me. After just a few episodes, I knew I wanted to take the doula course too.
I spent months listening during every car ride and learned so much along the way. Taking the course deepened that knowledge even more and gave me so much confidence in supporting VBAC families. I’m really thankful for everything The VBAC Link team shares through both the podcast and course.
Apple Podcasts5Crystalmoran16United Statesa month ago - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST!!
I love this podcast and found it so very helpful, informative and encouraging while planning my VBAC. I will admit, I found it somewhat annoying to keep hearing over and over that you have a better chance of having a VBAC if you hire a doula. After my first birth where I had so many people in the room while I labored, I really wanted it to be just my husband and I other than doctors and nurses coming and going as needed. But I really wanted a VBAC, so I found a doula that I felt drawn to and I A... more
Apple Podcasts5alpinethrillerUnited States2 months ago - Informative and Inspiring
I knew I would come back to leave a positive review no matter the outcome of my second birth, but sharing the news of a successful VBAC in my review was something I visualized and am thrilled to include! I first found the VBAC Link via a blog you all posted as I laid in my recovery room post c section back in 2024. From there I found the podcast and this course. The combination of VBAC stories on the podcast and the videos/readings from the course prepared and inspired me to achieve my VBAC two ... more
Apple Podcasts5Hun gry 2469United States4 months ago - VBAC success.
I had a truly unnecessary ‘emergency’ c section with my second and I was totally crushed. I remember lying on the operating table thinking that I was annoyed because I knew I wanted more babies and a VBAC sounded like it was going to be hard work. Well, it was hard work and I couldn’t have done it without the encouragement of the VBAC link. My entire pregnancy I would go on Saturday walks alone for however long that week’s episode was. I got my VBAC! Full term at home after preterm labour and c ... more
