#82 | When Birth Gets Better and Better: A VBAC Home Birth Testimony


Listen Later

What if your next birth didn’t have to look anything like your last one and could actually be better?

In this episode of the Pain Free Birth Podcast, Karen sits down with Blake, a mom of four who shares her incredible journey from a discouraging first C-section to three transformative home births after cesarean.

Blake walks listeners through each birth from a 77-hour marathon VBAC to a three-hour birth and finally a two-hour labor where she felt completely in control. Along the way, she opens up about healing hidden birth trauma, learning to trust her body, choosing supportive providers, and experiencing the redemptive power of faith-centered birth preparation.

Tune in to hear:

  • What led Blake to her first C-section and how it impacted her confidence
  • How she identified and healed birth trauma she didn’t realize she was carrying
  • What it was like laboring for 77 hours during her first home birth after cesarean
  • How her next birth lasted just three hours with almost no pushing
  • Why her babies got bigger AND her births got easier
  • The role mindset, faith, and emotional release played in shortening labor
  • How choosing the right midwife changed everything
  • The power of a supportive husband during home birth
  • What it feels like to birth standing up and fully in control
  • Why Blake believes women are not destined to repeat their birth trauma
