Episode 38: Geeking Out With The VBAC Link

Episode Summary

Meagen and Julie from The VBAC Link join us for a conversation about VBAC in a pandemic and what shifted in that landscape almost overnight. They have built an entire community around VBAC information and support, so this is the geek-out you would expect.

We talk about special VBAC doula considerations, how shifting policies and visitor restrictions made VBAC support harder, and why processing past traumatic events matters even more when the new birth is happening under stress. Letting go in the moment is not a skill we are born with.

Useful for doulas supporting VBAC clients, for educators covering VBAC in their classes, and for anyone wanting to think more carefully about preparation for a birth after a difficult one.
