When Meg was already trying for the ambitious goal of an unmedicated VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), the hospital didn't think she could also have a water birth. But she proved them wrong when she gave birth in the tub.

Her first baby was breech. Despite trying everything she could to turn her, she was unable to and in the end had a c-section. Even though the birth went well, she was disappointed that she didn't have the experience she wanted. Even though she knew there was a chance it wouldn’t work out, she decided to try for a VBAC on her second birth. In this incredible birth story you’ll hear all about how her birth wishes came true.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

• What about Meg’s first birth made her want a VBAC
• What lead to her first birth being a cesarean
• How hypnobirthing helped her access the trauma from her c-section
• When she went into labor for her second birth
• What comfort measures she used during her unmedicated birth
