July 31, 2022 is the Second Annual VBAC Awareness Day!
What is VBAC Awareness Day and why is VBAC awareness so important?
VBAC Awareness Day was founded by Nichole Joy Black and is the day that we celebrate and share the truth about Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. As a VBAC mom and birth worker, Nichole knows the importance of education surrounding the VBAC Conversation.
This year we're working together to help reach more women, inspiring them to learn the truth about VBAC.
What is the truth about VBAC?
The truth about VBAC is that VBAC is an option, specifically a SAFE option, for most women who have given birth via c-section.
Of course there are many nuances around birth, but the problem with VBAC is that many OBGYNs and even some Midwives are giving old and outdated VBAC advice, gatekeeping options from women who deeply desire a vaginal birth after their cesarean.
This week on theVBACpodcast, we're celebrating VBAC Awareness Day by offering the VBAC With Confidence Complete Birth Prep Program at 50% off... yes... HALF OFF enrollment to get prepared to feel confident walking into your VBAC birth.
We're celebrating VBAC Awareness with some exciting new episodes of theVBACpodcast

BIRTH STORY: Finding peace when your Planned VBAC ends in Emergency Repeat Cesarean
When you're dreaming of a Healing VBAC birth, the thought of your VBAC ending with emergency repeat cesarean can be scary. In today's Birth Story episode, we talk with Rachel McComiskey who shares her story of her first c-section that she says was due to provider abuse, her planned VBAC that ended in another traumatic cesarean, and how she found healing when her third birth and second VBAC attempt resulted in a third emergency cesarean. Rachel shares the biggest lessons she learned about planning a successful VBAC, what it means to have an empowering birth, and her tips for a positive VBAC experience.
The most important lesson Rachel shared with me was that CBAC (cesarean birth after cesarean) CAN be a healing experience also! I hope you find this C-section birth story inspiring and hopeful!
