In this empowering episode, Rachel shares her journey to a redemptive VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) after two previous C-sections. Despite discouragement from providers, Rachel persevered to find a doctor and hospital supportive of her goal. She details the research she did to advocate for herself, including evaluating VBAC success rates and interviewing doctors.
After achieving her desired birth, Rachel went on to doula training, inspired to help other women in their birth journeys. Rachel provides insight into navigating unsupportive providers, honoring your birthing decisions amidst judgment, and the euphoria of achieving the birth you desire. Her story will inspire you to stand up for your autonomy and follow your intuition when it comes to birth plans. Tune in for an uplifting perspective on overcoming obstacles to the birthing experience you envision.
