We’re joined by BabyCentre midwife Emma this week to cover all your queries about having a vaginal birth after a caesarean - called a VBAC. Also in this episode, we talk about pregnancy swelling – why does it happen and how can natural remedies help? And we talk about hypnobirthing and how this technique can help with labour pain. The Parent Pod is hosted by Lucy Toseland-Bolton and Claire Mutimer, both mums to young children and both BabyCentre parents. It is produced by BabyCentre UK and Tin Shed Productions.
