Let’s get one thing straight: your provider’s fear should not be the reason you say yes to something in birth.
In this episode, we’re diving into how fear-based counseling shows up in VBAC consults and what true informed consent actually looks and feels like.
We’re unpacking the difference between evidence-based recommendations and emotionally charged pressure—and why understanding that difference is the key to reclaiming your power.
Whether your provider is afraid of uterine rupture, hospital liability, or just doesn’t do VBACs often, this episode helps you tune into what’s fear-based and what’s fact-based—so you can make confident, grounded decisions that are right for YOU.
👊 We’re not here to be good girls—we’re here to be informed women.
Let’s talk about what real autonomy sounds like in the birth room.
