Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

422: VBAC, HBAC and When Your Birth Turns You Into a Birth Worker with Stephanie King


Listen Later

How often is intervention necessary?

From what we’ve found and learned in the hundreds of stories on this podcast, more interventions seem to be unnecessary rather than necessary.

In Stephanie King’s stories, she talks about the cesarean for her first birth being unnecessary. From there, she walks us through her journey to a VBAC in a birth center and then a home birth for her next 2 births. 

Stephanie is a childbirth educator, doula, creator of the My Essential Birth Course and host of the Pregnancy and Birth Made Easy podcast.

Stephanie is also an example of the many women we’ve spoken to who are inspired and called to birth work after their own birth experiences. 

Things we talk about in this episode:

  • Hospital birth
  • Cesarean birth
  • VBAC in birth center
  • Prodromal labor
  • Birth as a spiritual event
  • En caul birth
