Finding a VBAC supportive provider is really freaking hard in a lot of areas and it can be one of the most stressful parts of preparing for a VBAC.
So when it's time to decide whether or not to stay with the same provider who did your c-section you might be wondering what to do. The majority of people in the birth world would tell you NOT to stay with the same provider.

Do Moms Really Want a Course to Prepare for a VBAC?
Motherhood Flow - VBAC tips, preparing for a vaginal birth after c-section, preventing cesareans
05/22/24 • 11 min
As a doula and childbirth educator, my plan has been to have VBAC preparation courses for moms and VBAC training programs for doulas.
BUT is a VBAC course really something women want or would other formats be more beneficial?
Other options could be:
- Membership site
- 1:1 or group virtual doula support and VBAC education
- Patreon or premium podcast episodes
- A book
- Direct access to me via a Voxer membership (or something similar)
I would love and appreciate your input and feedback as I want to make sure I am serving you all the best way possible.
