2 | Mel's unmedicated VBAC following elective caesarean for breech; Gestational Diabetes, Doula, Caseload Midwifery, Public Hospital - VBAC Birth Stories

Om avsnittet

In this episode we hear from our host Mel, whose first birth was an elective caesarean due to breech positioning. Although this was elective Mel had wished for the experience of a natural birth and labour. She went on to have a successful unmedicated VBAC with her second baby two and a half years later. In her second pregnancy Mel was told she had gestational diabetes.

Listen to how Mel gave herself the best chance of having a vaginal birth and experiencing a positive VBAC. Mel is passionate about birthing and encouraging women to empower themselves to achieve a positive pregnancy and birth experience.
