Today we have Daphne Couri on the show, sharing her home birth VBAC from Brazil! Daphne had a C-section with her first, and that spurred her on to become a doula. After becoming a doula, she still longed to experience a natural birth. With her second baby, she was able to do just that, and enjoy the benefits of birthing at home. Listen in as Daphne explains how home birth is viewed in Brazil, the specific team that helped her succeed, and the advice she has for other VBAC mamas.

After her C-section, Anna was told by her doctor that she had an android pelvis, and it would be impossible for her to ever have a vaginal delivery. This didn't sit right with Anna, and led her to research and interview several midwives. About halfway through her second pregnancy, she left her OB, and transferred her care to a midwife. Listen in on her victorious VBAC birth story!
