Listen Later

In today's Australian VBAC Stories episode, Olivia shares her incredible birth stories with us including her first caesarean with a baby discovered breech in labour, followed by a breech VBAC with the same Private Obstetrician.


Olivia shares of the complexities of breech birth, including breech VBAC with births less than 18 months apart, and also birthing during COVID lockdowns. She provides many beautiful insights in how to navigate the VBAC process, including with the complexities of breech birth, and also beautifully explains her views on VBAC ‘failure’, what this means and why to her, every woman deserves to feel proud of whatever birth decisions they make.


We hope you’ll enjoy this beautiful birth story as much as we enjoyed recording it – thanks Olivia for sharing!
