Listen Later

In this episode we meet Amberley, a Registered Midwife (endorsed) who lives with her husband and two children in Melbourne.
Amberley was working as a midwife at the time of both of her births. Her first birth was a planned vaginal breech birth which ended in a caesarean, and although an overall positive experience and recovery she was determined to have a VBAC for her next baby.
Amberley’s reflections on both of her births are thought provoking and moving. We discuss birth plans and consent in the labour ward, and Amberley shares how she handled a loved one’s preference for her to choose a repeat caesarean over attempting a VBAC.
Amberley has a breastfeeding support business which is called Maternal Instincts by Amberley and talks to us about the services she offers in this episode including her #662movement and the inspiration behind it.
She has generously offered our listeners a $20 discount off her breastfeeding educational video series. Use the code: BOOBS20 and follow this link: https://join.maternal-instincts.com.au/video-series/?affiliate=vbacbirthstories to access the discount offer.
