This post cast has been and important key to my healing from my terrible experience. We are planning to get pregnant...Read full review »

In 2020, I had an urgent C-section with my son after pushing for five hours. In the hospital, the OB told me that I may never have a vaginal birth because my pelvis was likely “too small” (how would she know this? I changed providers at 36 weeks due to COVID restrictions, so she did not know me...Read full review »

I recently had the HBAC I was hoping for since my first very traumatic birth. The journey to my HBAC was very bumpy as my midwife had to terminate our contract when I was around 23 weeks and I couldn’t find a new midwife supportive of HBAC until I was 36 weeks. During that very challenging time...Read full review »

I am SO happy I found this incredible podcast. After having two prior c-sections, I was convinced I would have to have another c-section for my birth this November. I feel empowered, educated, and hopeful I can do this! Thank you for all the true facts and a safe space we can all talk about our...Read full review »

To be able to write the words, I got my VBAC feels surreal. 2 years ago I gave birth to my daughter via cesarean and since the OR I have been dreaming of a vbac. It felt like a primal right I was robbed of. Yesterday I gave birth AT HOME, with gestational diabetes, to a 9 pound 2 ounce baby. I...Read full review »

Listened to 10 episodes and found that the stories they choose to share are usually always the same with a twist. Didn’t find any episodes that said “a c section saved mine and my baby’s life”, so lots of bias and fear mongering from people who are selling female empowerment(maybe I’m missing the...Read full review »

I started listening to the VBAC Link podcast as I started my doula training in 2018 (I also trained through your doula program as well in 2022!). Even after working through so much since my own very necessary and life saving cesarean birth in 2015, your podcast continued to help me process and...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast shortly after my C-section in 2021. I had a 49 hour induction at 41 weeks and pushed for over 3 hours but wound up needing a C-section due to my son being OP and getting stuck. My surgery was traumatic and I wasn’t sure I wanted to have another child given the...Read full review »

So glad I found this podcast when I needed it most! Have been listening since 2020, and it helped encourage me to go for that VBAC! Which I successfully just had 5 days ago, I got my VBAC!!! So useful and filled with information.

Cannot recommend enough. Listening to the VBAC link honestly changed the course of my life. The education and empowerment to be gained by listening is incredible. If you found this page, if you are reading or listening to this review, search no more. You found the podcast you need to listen to!
MD in BA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
Megan and Julie have compiled all the research facts & statistics on VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarian section) so you don’t have to spend hours upon hours doing it yourself! Listening to just the first 3 episodes of this podcast has made this CS momma feel seen, and is a great place to...Read full review »

This podcast has been integral in helping me prep for my future VBAC/HBAC. I started listening already weeks after my c-section with my first son. I would listen while dream feeding at night all the time. It’s given me confidence to try for a HBAC with this second baby, and can’t wait to try for...Read full review »

Sooo thankful for the VBAC link. I had my VBA2C in March of 2023 and the vbac link was a huge part of my journey learning about what was possible. Thank u!!
janie-slegers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/23
I found your podcast near the beginning of my pregnancy with my 3rd baby. I had had 2 undesired c-sections and knew I didn’t want to put my body or my family through another if not absolutely necessary. This podcast gave me the tools and resources to decide for myself what was right for me! It...Read full review »

I learned about this podcast from a pregnancy app and at first I thought it was kind of silly because i didn’t know people struggled to have VBACs, until I started the process of finding a doctor and then I realized this wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought especially in the state that I live...Read full review »

After a very long labour, reaching 9.5 cm and ending in a C-section with my first baby, I was determined to have Vbac. Your podcast helped me immensely and this July I gave birth to my daughter vaginally! Thank you for everything you do, your podcasts helped me prepare both practically and...Read full review »

I listened to this podcast after my son was birth. I learned so much that I knew I wanted a VBAC for my second birth. When I became pregnant again, I would listened to this podcast during my walks. Thanks to the wealth of knowledge that I gained, I had my unmedicated VBAC in July 2023.
Je$$_2123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/23
I won’t go into details about my first birth, but I will say I was devastated I ended up with a C-section. My mental and physical recovery was terrible! So I immediately knew when it was time for us to have our second I wanted a VBAC. I did a lot of research here and there, but when I got...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast after my C-section with my first son. As soon as I got pregnant with my second I started listening religiously and I truly don’t think I would have known enough to advocate for myself to get my VBAC had it not been for this podcast! I cannot recommend this...Read full review »

I just had my successful VBA2C and would love to thank the VBAC link podcast for motivating, educating and uplifting my spirit to help prepare myself for my VBA2C. I listened to the Vbac link podcast on my drives to work and while cleaning around the house. Each birth story brought so many...Read full review »

I first found this podcast in 2020 while in the depths of postpartum after a very traumatic unplanned cesarean with my first baby. I listened to every single episode as I struggled to process what had happened to me, and finally gathered up the courage to seek help for postpartum PTSD that I was...Read full review »

Really disliked some of the information and grooming for compliance shared on the most recent episode, not sharing evidence based information with regards to continuous fetal monitoring for VBAC and the message just do what your dr says! Love that there is a VBAC and breech and twin supportive...Read full review »

Just had my vbac! My pregnancy and birth changed all for the better thanks to this podcast and the women who shared their stories.

I listened to as many episodes as possible while preparing for my VBAC. The stories on here were SO encouraging to me and Megan is so knowledgeable and reassuring. I’m happy to say I had my unmedicated hospital VBAC last week and I CAUGHT MY OWN BABY before the doctor got in the room!
LaurenSawat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/23
I am so grateful I have discovered Meagan and this podcast. I definitely believe listening to stories of these amazing women and their parents course helped me achieve my 2 VBACs. Thank you for all you do the vbac link!
Obsessed!!!!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/23
This podcast has so many helpful tools when it comes to birth and especially avoiding a cesarean! I listened to it every chance I had when I was planning for a vbac and I know it helped me achieve my goals. Hearing others women’s stories is so powerful! So thankful for this resource.

Loved listening to all different types of VBACs! This podcast helped me believe in my power to VBAC.

kspair via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/23
I had my first baby in 2021. 11lb at 42 weeks, via cesarean because he wouldn’t descend. I was told I couldn’t birth him because he was too big, my pelvis was too small. But I always knew that wasn’t true. My mother (very petite woman) birthed me naturally and I was 11lb 9oz!! In 2023 I had my...Read full review »

I love birth stories but I feel the host interjects her own opinions/stories within the birth story too much.
Stephi Zoe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/23
My first birth in 2018 was a traumatic home birth turned emergency C section. I had done everything I was “supposed to” to avoid interventions and a C section but ended up with all of it anyway. The whole experience was crushing and it took years to recover from. Listening to the vbac link was a...Read full review »

This podcast is a must listen to. Not just for the mom preparing for a VBAC, but for ANYONE who is giving birth, has given birth, or plans to give birth in the US.

I knew I wanted a VBAC with my third pregnancy but I wasn’t sure it was possible, however I knew I didn’t like being flat out told “no” at my first appointment. Listening to the podcast was definitely the start of me really researching birth and looking into my options, I ended up with a...Read full review »

I have had a natural/birth center birth, then moved out of the country and had a very traumatic c section. I am now 37 weeks pregnant back stateside working with an amazing birth team.

I found the VBAC Link podcast in my second trimester after my midwife suggested that I start listening to positive stories to get in a good headspace as I prepared for my VBAC. What I didn’t expect was to hear so many different types of birth experiences in one place. I was floored by the amount...Read full review »

I found this podcast around week 30 of my second pregnancy by searching for “VBAC”. I had a traumatic c section in 2019, and I knew I did not want to go through that again. It was helpful for me to learn evidence on VBAC, how to advocate for myself and healing to listen to others stories. I just...Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast for over a year now. And at first I loved it! I felt like I was learning a lot about what can help me to be prepared to VBAC. However the past few months I feel like it is very repetitive, getting same facts over and over. I also feel like they tend to be...Read full review »

Of all the things I did to prepare for pursuing a VBA2C, I think one of the most important was listening to this podcast! Hearing these stories and information from Megan and Julie, made the dive into learning about VBAC and birth in general so much easier. I was blessed with my VBA2C on January...Read full review »

I’m 35 weeks pregnant planning an all natural VBAC in the hospital. I’ve been listening to a few different podcasts but keep coming back to this show. The host is very interactive and nice to listen to. Format is a good blend of birth stories as well as good education.

This podcast is a valuable resource in the birth world and I recommend it often.

I found this podcast after my traumatic cesarean birth with my first baby. I thought I knew so much about birth but I was so uneducated and unprepared.

Hi, Listening from Canada! I found your podcast after listening to Meagan’s interview on My Essential Birth podcast, and I’ve been binge listening since. Fortunately I managed a vaginal birth the first time around (after 36 hours of labour and an OP baby), I am now preparing for the birth of...Read full review »

I listened to just about every episode during my 2nd pregnancy. My first baby was born via C-section due to breech presentation (which I didn’t know until I was being wheeled into surgery). I had gone into labor a month early and put way too much trust in medical staff instead of listening to my...Read full review »

Of all the ways to learn, stories are my favorite. When I think of how much God uses stories in the Bible, to teach people His ways, it reinforces my enjoyment of them. And that’s what we’ve got here, at the VBAC Link.🌺

After my first C section in June 2021 for failure to progress, I said there was NO WAY I would ever put my body through an attempt at labor and delivery again. I am now pregnant with my second, and thanks to the VBAC Link podcast I have learned so much more about vaginal birth, and I have changed...Read full review »
