How to have a VBAC: Part 3, Emotional and Physical Readiness

Episode three of our VBAC series delves into the journey of preparing for a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). We cannot emphasize enough the importance of emotional and physical readiness. We want you to look at your stuff- the challenging stuff and the parts that have hurt or disappointment around them. We have found that parents who can be really honest with themselves, possibly look at their birth from other angles and gather more support, have better births the second time around.

We talk about the significance of storytelling, ownership of past birth experiences, and the role of vulnerability in healing and growth. We will help you explore the impact of fears, the value of education, and the support from therapies and spiritual practices. This discussion also covers recommendations for resources like Hypnobirthing, VBAC classes, and therapies, offering some solid ideas for those seeking a different birth outcome with empathy and informed decision-making.
