In this episode, I interview my friends Julie and Meagan all about VBACS!

Here are the questions we go over!

1. What are some of the first things I can do if I am interested in VBAC?
2. How do I find a VBAC friendly provider? Is there a best way?
3. What are some of the biggest misconceptions out there about VBAC?
4. Can you talk about the “my pelvis is too small” myth regarding VBAC? (This might come up in the previous question)
5. Can you talk about “failure to progress” and why that gets labeled so frequently?
6. I have my own personal beliefs about epidurals and their relationship to c-sections and VBACs – how do you guys feel about this?
7. What are some of the differences in preparing for VBAC vs. preparing for birth (after not having a c-section).
