PROCESS YOUR PREVIOUS BIRTH EXPERIENCE(S)
Take time to unpack those emotions:
Whether it's therapy, sharing with loved ones, or journaling, make space to process your birth journey.
EDUCATE YOURSELF AND PARTNER ABOUT VBAC & ALL YOUR OPTIONS
Knowledge is power:
Dive deep into VBAC resources like @icanbirth ICAN, THE VBAC LINK podcast, and the enlightening documentary "The Trial of Labor."
Equip yourself with all the facts and options—empowerment starts with knowing your choices!
WORK ON YOUR MINDSET
Harness the power of positive thinking:
Instead of "trying" for a VBAC, affirm confidently, "I'm having a VBAC."
Your mindset shapes your birth experience—embrace the journey with positivity and determination!
PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY
Preparation is key:
Strengthen your pelvic floor with targeted exercises to enhance breath-work and prepare for labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
Preparing for your VBAC isn't just about physical readiness—it's about nurturing your mind, body, and spirit for the journey ahead. With the right team, knowledge, mindset, and physical prep, you're primed to embrace your VBAC with confidence and joy.
Here's to celebrating your journey towards an empowered birth!
