VBAC Class

Did you know that it is NOT, "once a cesarean, always a cesarean"?
Are you considering a VBAC? Overwhelmed by all the info and at the same time lack of info that is "out there"? I walk you through all the stats, risks, benefits, common questions, do's and don'ts and set you up with realistic expectations for what your VBAC could look like in the hospital setting.
 
I want to empower you with options, and to remind you that whatever route of delivery you choose is your decision to make. But I don't want you making that decision out of fear or coercion. You should be empowered by your decision, confident in your next steps and let go being able to just labor. You are not doing something radical by pursuing a VBAC, you're laboring! I will equip you to have the best chance and most positive birth memory possible.
