If you're aiming for a VBAC this pregnancy, this one is for you mama!

I had a wonderful conversation with My Essential Birth Mama, Sarah. She shares how she navigated pregnancy, labor, and birth with confidence — even when things didn’t go exactly as planned. We discuss everything from preparing her mindset during pregnancy to advocating during labor and embracing the beauty of her baby’s arrival. This episode is full of encouragement for any mama preparing for birth...and especially for my VBAC mamas!

Here are some highlights from the episode:

• How Sarah prepared mentally and physically for birth during pregnancy
 • The mindset shifts that helped her release fear and build confidence
 • What early labor felt like and how she knew things were progressing
 • The tools she used to manage contractions naturally
 • How preparation helped her advocate for herself in the hospital
 • What it looked like to pivot peacefully when birth didn’t unfold exactly as expected
 • The emotional moment she met her baby
 • Her honest postpartum reflections and what she wants every pregnant mom to know

Birth may not always go exactly according to plan — but it can still be powerful, peaceful, and empowering. I hope this story reminds you that your body was designed for this, and with the right preparation, you can walk into your birth feeling strong and ready. 💛
