What You Need to Know About Having a VBAC

Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma

Welcome mommas, today we’re going to talk about what you need to know about having a VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean).

I share my own VBAC journey, offer tips on how to navigate them, and welcome my guest Hannah Gill, a VBAC doula and childbirth educator.

Hannah has a background in the sciences with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Indiana University and a Master of Science in Forensic Biology from Purdue University.

She became interested in birth work after the birth of her son in 2019, when she realized that there is a lack of thorough education and support being provided to families. Because of this, she became a childbirth educator and doula.

Together, we debunk misconceptions about VBACs, explore the importance of a VBAC supportive provider, the role of scar tissue mobilization, and the significance of education in making informed choices.

We also touch upon the physical and emotional aspects of recovery after cesareans and advocate for personalized birth plans.
