- 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

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

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

For whatever reason, birth is a taboo topic. Women don’t talk about it and when they do, it’s generally ONLY the scary parts. I am so thankful to have found a podcast that is filled with the ups and downs of births because it truly is a rollercoaster! I am planning to have a vbac after 2 c-sections and I am inspired every single day by the women of strength that share their stories on this podcast. They give me hope and help me believe that I can do it too. I think mamas are better informed abou... more
Apple Podcasts5CaseyV330United States6 months ago - Glad that podcasts like this exist
I just gave birth in an NHS hospital and I managed to deliver my second child via VBAC. That particular hospital has a 50% c section rate and is considered the highest rate in England. During labour I was told I may have to deliver via c section because baby’s heat rate was plummeting and taking awhile to recover; but they made 2 mistakes, 1) by reading my HR instead of the baby’s and 2) they did not firstly assess me to see that I was 9cm dialated
which would explain why baby HR was going down ... more
