Review of The VBAC Link - Gave me confidence

Gave me confidence

☆

“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 own body. I related to so many of these stories and learned so much about how to advocate for myself. I switched providers for my 2nd pregnancy, they seemed supportive of my TOLAC my whole pregnancy until I was in labor at the hospital. The doctor told me I had 3 options: go into a c-section to “end this now”, start pitocin, or go home. (I was 4cm, having painful contractions but fine, baby was perfect, and I just wanted more time without drugs.. nope!) I used the knowledge I learned from this podcast to advocate for myself. May have hid in the bathroom crying for an hour 😅. I did get my VBAC but even during delivery what I learned from this podcast was in my mind. I was able to ignore the nurses advice for blue faced pushing and continued breathing and letting my body do it’s thing. It didn’t go perfectly, as it rarely does; but the experience was so much better due to the knowledge & confidence I gained from stories & this podcast. I am so lucky to have 2 healthy babies and recommend this podcast to everyone. Especially first time moms!”
