After a long induction, sweet baby Ali was welcomed into this world. His brave mom and supportive dad were so overjoyed with his birth. They planned for a VBAC but those plans were changed, unfortunately.
As a doula, I know how much heart and hope families pour into planning for a VBAC. Inductions can be tricky, and sometimes the journey takes an unexpected turn toward a repeat cesarean. Even when things don’t go as planned, what shines through is the incredible strength of the birthing person and the love surrounding them. At the end of the day, a safe arrival and a healthy mom and baby are what matter most—and that is always a beautiful birth story. 💙
For those considering a VBAC in the future, know this: every birth is unique, and with the right support, you can walk into your experience feeling informed, cared for, and empowered—no matter how your story unfolds.
