The Journey to VBAC

84. The danger of 'Going with the Flow' in birth—what no one tells you


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like staying quiet was the easiest path? That if you just "went with the flow," things would work out?


I totally get it—I used to think the same way. But what I’ve learned is this: doing nothing is still making a decision. And when it comes to birth, passive choices often default to the system’s preferences—not yours.

In this episode, we dive into:
✅ Why "going with the flow" isn’t always the best option.
✅ How silence can lead to interventions you didn’t plan for.
✅ Simple ways to take an active role in your birth experience.

💡 Your silence can shape your birth story just as much as your voice can.
