“I had a c section for breech presentation in 2022, an experience that I found disempowering and that undermined my confidence in my body and trust in providers. When I found myself pregnant with my second, not having processed my first birth, I knew I needed to have a different experience this...”Read full review »

“I am so thankful I came across this podcast and know it was an invaluable tool when educating myself regarding VBACs and the birthing process in general. My first son was born via cesarean due to his stubbornness and refusing to turn from his breech presentation. Leading up to my c-section, I...”Read full review »

“I had an extremely traumatic birth center hospital transfer than emergency c section over the course of 5 days. I went onto plan a vbac for my second. Prepared to the best of my ability with the information I had. With an unsupportive provider I had yet another c section. Now planning a 3rd I...”Read full review »

“The VBAC Link gave me the confidence and knowledge to advocate for myself and for the birth I knew I was capable of. For that, I will always be grateful!
Having had ICP with my first pregnancy and delivering vaginally after that 38 week induction, I never imagined the second birth would go so...”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 »
