Welcome to the first HGIC Hotline Q&A!

Every Thursday, I answer your birth questions. Submit yours HERE!

Today, we chatted all about...

💖 Unmedicated VBAC Tips: Choose a VBAC-supportive provider, know your birthplace policies, understand the risks/benefits, build a strong birth team, and plan for pain/exhaustion.

💖 Advocating Without Partner Support: Clarify your birth plan, keep it simple, communicate with your partner effectively, hire a doula or train someone to advocate, and practice advocacy during prenatal visits.

💖 Avoiding C-Sections: Pick a low-intervention provider, research hospital rates, avoid unnecessary interventions, labor at home longer, stay active, and prepare mentally.
