Adva‘s Cesarean & HBAC Stories

In today's episode we meet Adva, who is a mother of two. Adva had a cesarean with her first child after he turned breech during labor, and the birth center that she had planned to give birth at transferred her care to the hospital. During Adva’s second pregnancy, she sought out care from the same midwifery group but was told that she could not have a VBAC at the birth center. Adva then planned to give birth at a hospital in case there was an emergency that occurred during labor, but decided to switch her care to a home birth midwife at 37 weeks and had a 3.5 hour labor from start to finish!

Join us as Adva shares her birth stories, the importance of your mindset during birth, and how to take control of your birth and not looking to others to “save” you. We also discuss pelvic floor physical therapy, chiropractic care, and how much education is lacking in the general population when it comes to home birth, especially home birth after a cesarean.

Today's episode also contains a special announcement! Choosing HBAC: The Ultimate Home Birth After Cesarean Prep Course will be open for enrollment in early 2022. This course will be a compilation of all the information, statistics, answers to all of the frequently asked questions, and everything that I have learned throughout the years, in my own research and experiences, and in the hours upon hours upon hours of talking with other women who are planning for or have already had their HBACs. It will provide information and choices for those who want a home birth after having had a cesarean, and it will be the first of its kind. It will contain 10 modules that you can move through at your own pace, downloadable PDFs, exercises for you and your partner to work through, and references to other helpful materials, and more!
