Today is the launch day for my VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) courses, I’m so excited to now offer courses that are very close to my heart.
When I was planning my VBAC, I was naïve to believe that health care professionals would be supportive of my choices, I faced hurdles, scaremongering, coercion, and the dead baby card. It was hard, but I spent so much time researching the evidence, knowing my birth rights and birth options and working on building my confidence to birth in a system that is constantly doubting my ability.
The courses are not going to persuade you to have a vaginal birth over a caesarean birth, that is a very personal decision and only you can make that. I do not provide medical advice and I will not tell you what to do, no one should tell you want to do! If you want to plan for a vaginal birth, then this is the course for you, just a disclaimer, nothing can guarantee a vaginal birth (25% chance of caesarean) same as a first time mum.
These courses will provide evidence relating to a vaginal birth with a scar on your uterus, knowledge is power, then we discuss guidelines and the evidence behind them and your rights. This information helps you make informed decisions that are right for you and your baby.
You are going to feel confident for your birth, you are going to be in control and make your own terms and conditions and learn how to tune into your body, trust your ability, and listen to your instincts, they are your superpower.
Both courses have a dedicated 2 hours for all things VBAC. Then the rest of the course is Hypnobirthing, the workshop is a lite version of the full course, it’s good if you are limited on time or budget. Understand what is happening to your body in labour and how to work with it is stacking the odds in your favour to have a powerful and positive birth.
Hypnobirthing is a toolbox of relaxation techniques, you will learn how these techniques can have a powerful effect on birth, because your mind and the environment can sabotage your birth. It’s your birth partner’s role to protect you, by advocating your birth choices, making sure the environment is perfect and you are feeling safe and loved.
You are going to make the most badass caesarean back up plan, because if birth is heading down that road, you are going to take control and know exactly what you want. Birth is unpredictable and there is a large part of birth where you surrender to your body, but I want you to feel in control and make decisions that are right for you when you are offered, recommended or want medical support.
You are the boss of your birth, everything is your choice.
