393 | Carla, three babies, emergency caesarean, VBAC, private OB, private midwife, forceps, NICU, homebirth
You can hear Carla’s first birth in episode 188 which was a long labour and an emergency caesarean. Determined to achieve a VBAC for her second birth, she had a private obstetrician (known as the ‘VBAC queen’) and a private midwife to ensure she had support at home and advocacy in the hospital. She laboured beautifully but her second stage was long and challenging and ended in a forceps-assisted birth and a week in hospital as her baby boy developed sepsis. For her third birth, Carla knew from the outset that she wanted the healing experience of a homebirth so she rallied her support system and achieved a dream labour, birth and postpartum experience. --------------------- Prepare for a positive birth experience with my new book .See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
