Summary
Meagan Heaton is the co-founded the VBAC Link in 2018. She really found her love for birth in 2014 after her second C-Section, and since has supported over 300 couples as a birth doula. Meagan's passion for VBAC started after her own experiences. She had two C-sections and then went on to have a VBA2C. Her drive is to help women like herself feel educated, supported, and empowered during their birthing time.
We dive into this episode the research, statictics and facts about vaginal and cesarean births. The pros and cons of VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and what your providers may not be telling you. We also talk about the arrive trial which has increased the cesarean rate in first time moms.
