Made For Birth; The VBAC Podcast For Birth After Cesarean

Planning for a hospital birth comes with unique challenges, especially when navigating policies and procedures that may not always feel supportive. In this episode, we’re diving into the nitty-gritty details of what to expect, how to advocate for yourself, and practical tips for working with (or against) your hospital team to achieve the birth you desire.

We’re covering everything you need to know to approach your birth with confidence and clarity regardless of the hospital policies you will encounter. I talk about what the policies are, why they are in place, what the challenges are surrounding them and how to navigate it.
