Changing Birth with Hannah Willsmore

Preparing for a VBAC

July 03, 2024 • Hannah Willsmore • Season 1 • Episode 72

More and more women are planning a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean), so in today's episode I share five strategies for birth preparation specific to VBAC. I love working with VBAC mamas as they are determined, knowledgable and ready to advocate for what they want.

In todays episode we cover:

How to know if you have a VBAC supportive midwife or ob - and what to do if you don't!
Why learning about birth physiology + hormones is so important when having a VBAC.
Benefits of Active Birth for VBAC.
Some of my favourite VBAC resources to assist in your preparation.
