Episode 424 Chloe's 65-hour VBA2C in Canada to a 9-lb Baby After a CPD Diagnosis + Placenta Previa

The VBAC Link

About her VBA2C, Chloe says,

“I’ve been dreaming of my VBAC for 8 years. When my HBAC turned into a scheduled CBAC, I wasn’t even sure I’d get the option to have a VBA2C. It took a lot of planning & hard work & I knew as a first time labouring mom that it would be a longer labor but I completely underestimated just how long…

Dreams came true New Years Eve as fireworks went off & my husband & I welcomed our daughter!”

Chloe’s first birth was a scheduled Cesarean due to a partial placenta previa. For her second, she was planning an HBAC, but after going overdue with no signs of labor, concerns about her baby’s size, and a CPD diagnosis, she had another scheduled Cesarean.

For her VBA2C baby, Chloe went all in. She connected with supportive providers, leaned into physical prep, and was so inspired from other women’s stories on The VBAC Link Podcast.

Chloe labored hard for almost 3 days and was progressing veryyy slowly. Though it wasn’t what she thought she’d want at 3 cm, she got an epidural and AROM which ended up being incredibly helpful!

Her midwife even said that she pushed as though she had delivered five babies. Take that, CPD! 💥

After a long 65-hour labor, she pushed for just 15 minutes. We are so proud of you, Chloe!!
