Motherhood Flow - VBAC tips, preparing for a vaginal birth after c-section, preventing cesareans

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.

In this episode I discuss all that has happened in 2023 and what I'm looking forward to in 2024.

So today we're going to be talking about a topic that I talked quite a bit about last month on my Instagram, but I recently archived the majority of my posts. So the post isn't there anymore, but I talked about it in my stories a little bit, and it's about how, you know, if you're done having kids, I feel like this is a question that So many of us have, we may ask ourselves this question.

We may ask others this question. We may ask Google this question. Like, how do you know if you're done having kids? I really wanted this to live on the podcast because I feel like it's an important topic that so many of us probably resonate with and are feeling. So that's why I want us to talk about it here.

And You may be feeling this if you have one child or five children or however many kids you have, or if you're questioning if you want kids at all, this is something that I feel like we all feel at some point. And I've seen so many women ask this question. How do you know when you're done? How did you know when you were done?

And if you relate to anything that I have to say, or if you're feeling the same way, please let me know. I would love to talk about it more.

Have you been wondering how to navigate the unknowns of labor? Are you fearful of your baby being in a poor position or tearing during birth?

If thinking about the labor and birth process has you feeling nervous, this episode is for you!

In this episode, we answer these three questions:

• How do you navigate the unknowns of labor, especially with an unmedicated birth?
• If you had a malpositioned baby, how likely is it to happen a second time and how do these positions affect unmedicated birth?
• How can I get past the fear of tearing during birth?

For these Q&A episodes, I will answer all of the burning questions from my audience.

If you would like to submit a question for the next Q&A episode you can do that here!
