Check out this amazing VBAC story!

"I desperately wanted to experience natural childbirth, and I wasn’t going to let my C-section scar or anyone tell me different.

When my son was born via planned C-section due to placenta Previa. I didn’t feel like I’d given Birth and was upset I didn’t get to experience labour. ( not even a braxtons hicks) It’s not what I have always in visioned for my birth story.
To protect me and my son, a team of doctors and my midwives had no choice but to avoid a vaginal delivery

Friends and family kept telling me that it didn’t matter how my son came into the world as long as he was healthy, and I knew they were right. But I had always wanted to experience a natural, unmedicated vaginal birth.

The doctors and midwives told me I was a great candidate for a VBAC so I was determined to try to have a vaginal delivery. I dreamt to feel labor, even the painful parts.

18 months later I was pregnant with my second son, I knew I had to do everything I could to try and have a successful VBAC. I hired Stacey, a Doula who had her advanced VBAC certification to help me plan my vaginal birth with no interventions. We discussed my fears and what was important to me and my husband so we could have a positive experience.

My labor started with my water breaking with meconium. I called both my midwife and Stacey to let them know that my labor has started but we had a set back due to the meconium. I knew right away that my chances of me having a successful VBAC have decreased.

I had to be admitted to the hospital right away because of the meconium. I remember being so excited to be able to feel what an actual contraction felt like (Crazy I know) while I was waiting for my mom to take care of my son so I could go to the hospital.

When I got to the hospital my labor started to ramp up, I was doing different laboring positions, kept moving to keep progressing my labor. Every time the OB would walk-in I would get white coat syndrome and my labor would stall. I ended up having to go on pitocin to speed up my labor because of the meconium. Unfortunately, because of covid, Stacey was denied entry BUT we are so greatful for the prenatal education she provided. She taught us different positions and tricks that my husband was able to do. The double hip squeezes, sitting on the ball and all the other positions helped me fight through the pain with no medication.

After 16 hours of laboring and 4 hours of pushing I was able to have a successful VBAC!!! I can’t thank my husband, midwives, nurses, OB and doula enough for helping me have another healthy beautiful boy via VBAC💕💕💕

Birth is amazing no matter how it happens!

Birth is Birth!

This amazing mama labored for 15 hours, pushed for a total of 5 but her sweet babes head was so swollen he didn't want to come down.
She had a cesarean birth and it was beautiful 💗

Even though we try for a vaginal, sometimes, babe comes earthside via Cesarean birth.

It's not the birthers fault at all. This birth was amazing and beautiful and I am so blessed I got to assist for the entire labor!
Also those hip squeezes 💪
