Your Provider Is…

A Cautious Supporter

Your provider supports VBAC but they may want to take extra precautions depending on your history. They are balanced and realistic and although they are cautious they are open-minded. They communicate openly about the risks and benefits of VBAC and are willing to listen and adjust based on your needs.

What This Means For You

Having a Cautious Supporter means you have a provider that is generally positive about VBACs but may have reservations that require additional discussions and more frequent monitoring. It’s important to ensure you feel fully supported by addressing any concerns they have and providing them with the necessary information to build their confidence in your VBAC journey.

  • Engage in frequent and thorough discussions with your team about your VBAC plan.

  • Provide your team with up-to-date research and evidence supporting VBAC if they are not open to providing it to you.

  • Ensure you have additional support, like a partner or doula.

  • Be proactive in addressing any concerns and seek second opinions if necessary.

Assumptions

Don’t assume your team fully understands your needs. Clarify and communicate regularly to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Hey, there! I’m Hannah.

I help women claim their power and have autonomous births after c-sections.

One of the main reasons women choose not to have a VBAC is because they can’t find a supportive provider.

My hope is that you can take ownership of your birth experience and have that VBAC you desire, even without a supportive provider.

Because at the end of the day, this is your birth and you make the decisions for you and your baby.
