Today we have Stephanie who is a military spouse and gave birth in a military hospital. Her story is so much fun and you might be surprised at the little nuances that make birthing at a military hospital different than birthing in a civilian hospital. During her VBAC the nurse asked if there was a “table ready” and she started to panic; she thought they meant an operating table but instead she was asked to start pushing with the next contraction. There are so many valuable tidbits of information in her story that you can find out more about on our VBAC blog at thevbaclink.com/blog.

Today’s special episode is from our friend Jennifer, aka Coco.  She shares her journey through IVF, supporting a husband with cancer during her pregnancy, and the birth of her twins where she experienced both a vaginal and a C-Section delivery.

Beth is one of Meagan’s own VBAC clients and boy, does she have a story to share! Her VBAC labor started with her water breaking and progressing slowly. After some less-than-ideal interactions with hospital staff, and an anesthesiologist who “just wanted to have an adult conversation”, she had her VBAC a full day after going to the hospital. Her baby was born after an amazing experience that really testifies to the mother-baby connection. This is a must-listen episode! You can learn more about the science behind the mother baby connection on our VBAC blog at: thevbaclink.com/blog.
