Overcoming Fear and Preparing for VBAC Success
This is the first in a series on VBAC. In this episode, Ashley and I focus on the complexities and considerations surrounding Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). We are talking about the importance of self-forgiveness for what you “think” you may have taken on form your previous birth experience and how to resolve that.
We go over the current high cesarean rates and attribute them to systemic issues rather than individual inadequacies. Your body can birth! We of course promote education on cesarean prevention and VBAC success through support organizations like ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network).
Prevention of the first cesarean is always at the forefront, but we also want more dialogue around the often underestimated risks of repeat cesareans. The importance of informed decision-making and shared decision making.
The episode also addresses the societal and personal fears associated with VBAC, stressing the need for education, openness with partners, and professional support to process and overcome fears. Especially when it comes to partners, have you asked them in detail of what they felt last time? Getting on the same page about this birth while also tying up loose ends from the last one, makes all the difference. We ultimately promote self-compassion and grace as key to embracing the journey of VBAC and future pregnancies.
