I have supported many VBACS that were told to never have a vaginal birth or even try and all but 2 went on to have vaginal births just fine with support, the right birth team , education and preparation🤍
Yes and… what do you do when your doctor recommends a repeat cesarean for everyone even though national guidelines state that women should be offered the option of a planned VBAC?
You learn the facts so you can make informed decisions and effectively advocate for yourself.
We can help with that.
Download our VBAC planning checklist to learn the five simple steps to planning a VBAC.
It’s not complicated, but it does require intention and commitment.
Oh, and ask your doctor, “Of the last 10 women who wanted a VBAC with you, how many had one?”
If it’s less than 7 or 8, that could be a red flag.
This is why we recommend asking local doulas for the names of VBAC supportive doctors or midwives.
Or calling your local hospital and asking the labor and delivery charge nurse, “Who is the most VBAC supportive provider at your hospital?”
Their response will tell you a lot about the VBAC climate there.
Do they have a name?
Are they excited you called?
Do they identify themselves as a VBAC supportive nurse?
Or are they… dismissive?
Even condescending?
We have many tips for those who want to plan a VBAC… as well as for birth professionals who support this option.
We have two myth busting resources, one on VBAC in general, and the other specifically on uterine rupture.
All of these free resources are available via the link in our bio and at https://vbacfacts.com/learn-more/
