42 | Nadima's drug-free VBAC with a 4kg baby following an emergency caesarean after induction; 51 hour labour, MGP, Public Hospitals, Hypnobirthing - VBAC Birth Stories

Om avsnittet

Today we meet Nadima who lives in Melbourne with her husband and two children. Nadima, like many of us, never imagined she would have a caesarean so when she was wheeled into theatre for an emergency caesarean this naturally came as a shock to her. She was booked in for an induction at 37 weeks due to earlier concerns with her baby’s heart rate, but she actually never got to experience labour. Although Nadima doesn’t describe her first birth as traumatic she knew immediately that she did not want to go through another caesarean if she could prevent it in any way. You’ll hear how she prepared herself mentally and physically for her second birth which was a 51 hour long labour, and how her VBAC unfolded with her nearly 4.2kg baby.
