22. Rachael's Successful VBAC Home Birth

Author: Cait Hayes July 16, 2020 Duration: 33:17

Hi guys!

Thanks for tuning in today. We have Rachael on and her story is so redemptive. She had to have a planned c-section with her first baby but that didn't stop her from achieving her dream birth with her second. VBAC can seem scary and impossible but we've talked to some really inspiring moms who were able to achieve that goal!

So we are still collecting responses about the future of the podcast - we are hoping to get ideas to help us build and reach more moms! The link to the form is here (and by filling it out, you're entered to win an Amazon gift card and Birth Naturally sticker!) We appreciate all of you who have given your opinions so far; it helps a lot!

Throughout August, we will be only releasing episodes every other week, due to the fact that I should have a baby by then and will need a bit of time off! In the interim, we'd love to chat with a few more of you on the podcast, so let us know if you're interested in sharing your story! We're not scary, I promise! :)

Make sure you follow Rachael on Instagram for some really cool birth art (great gifts for your midwife!) and give us a follow, too!

And don't forget to give us a 5 star rating and reviews on your podcast player.. it's so helpful and we appreciate it so much!

Until next time,

Kali + Cait

Cait Hayes hosts Birth Naturally, a space dedicated to honest conversations about the entire journey of bringing a child into the world without medical intervention. This podcast moves beyond simple birth stories to explore the physical, emotional, and practical realities of med-free birth and the life that follows. You'll hear from a variety of voices-people who are trying to conceive, those pregnant for the first time, and experienced parents-all sharing their unique perspectives and hard-won wisdom. The aim is to build a supportive community where information is exchanged freely, not to prescribe a single right way, but to illuminate the many paths available. Each episode delves into personal narratives and discussions meant to foster a sense of confidence and self-trust. Tuning in provides a sense of companionship, reminding you that you're not navigating these profound questions and experiences alone. For anyone curious about or committed to a natural birth process, this podcast serves as a valuable resource and a source of genuine empowerment, from pregnancy through the early years of parenting.
