Product Description
Making the decision to go for a vaginal birth after Caesarean (VBAC) can be a stressful one. Well meaning friends and family members sometimes can’t understand why you wouldn’t choose the ‘easy’ option of a planned Caesarean section. As you already know Caesarean birth is far from an easy option – and now you will have a toddler to consider too. Giving birth is a rite of passage and many women feel they missed out in someway by not experiencing a vaginal birth.
Join other GentleBirth Mums to discuss VBAC options on the GentleBirth private discussion group on Facebook.
Prepare for your VBAC. Boost your confidence as you look forward to a positive birth experience.
Many Mums planning VBAC question their ability to give birth vaginally, especially if their previous birth ended in an unexpected Caesarean birth. The loss of control can become an overwhelming fear. A planned repeat Caesarean may be the safest choice in a small number of situations, but for most mothers and babies the overall risks of surgical birth outweigh VBAC risks.
Many women planning a VBAC will have unique emotional issues to resolve. Sometimes the emotions within themselves are enough to impede their chances of achieving a normal birth.
Take time to consider how you are feeling before the birth, and try to work through your emotions before labour.
The GentleBirth Confident VBAC CD will increase your feelings of control by rebuilding your confidence in birth and your trust in yourself and your baby with encouraging positive imagery and self hypnosis for a more positive, fear free birth experience.
