VBAC Birth Stories

6 | Katelyn's drug-free VBAC with a special shaped uterus following induction and emergency caesarean; Uterus Didelphys, Private Hospital, NICU, Hypnobirthing


Listen Later

In this episode we speak with Katelyn. Katelyn has Uterus Didelphys, which is unique as her uterus has two separate regions where the foetus can grow, meaning two uteri or two wombs with two cervices. Her first baby grew on one side and her second baby grew on the other. During her first pregnancy her private obstetrician advised her to keep her hopes for a natural birth low, despite this Katelyn laboured to 8cm following an induction before being led to an emergency caesarean. In her second pregnancy Katelyn prematurely went into labour at 33 weeks, experiencing a swift drug free natural birth.
Listen to this episode to hear Katelyn’s raw and honest storytelling of her two different births. She also shares with us her learnings from her experiences in the neonatal intensive care unit in the public hospital, next door to the private one she was booked into.
