35- The VBAC Divide: The Truth About Why Some Providers Say Yes and Others Say No
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the big question: Why do some doctors “allow” VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and others don’t? It’s a topic that can be frustrating and confusing for many expecting moms. While some doctors are fully supportive, others can be downright dismissive of VBAC, and the reasons behind this divide are more complex than you might think.
We’ll explore:
•How insurance companies, hospital policies, and even the healthcare system impact your ability to access VBAC care.
•The truth about how OBs are trained to focus on high-risk pregnancies, but many aren’t educated in physiological birth.
•Why midwives are often the best advocates for VBAC and physiological birth.
•How to navigate a VBAC if switching providers isn’t an option, and how a doula can make a huge difference in this journey.
I’ll also break down the history of VBACs, how things have shifted over the years, and why the medical community’s approach to VBAC is still stuck in the past.
Whether you’re planning your VBAC or just exploring your options, this episode will give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make informed decisions about your birth.
