Your Empowered VBAC
Our VBAC preparation class provides expectant families with an opportunity to gather evidence based information, build confidence and knowledge, and prepare for a vaginal birth after cesarean that is a positive and healthy labor and childbirth experience. Confidence and knowledge is developed through the exploration of topics including choosing a VBAC friendly provider, becoming an active participant in decision making, and factors that affect VBAC success. Participants dive into understanding pelvic dynamics and fetal positioning for an efficient labor and decreased risk of intervention. Additional topics include medical pain relief options, comfort in labor, emotional support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, understanding cesarean birth if it becomes necessary, postpartum planning, postpartum expectations, and more!
