413 | Larissa, three births, VBAC2, PCOS, second-trimester miscarriage, caesarean, induction, weight-loss surgery
In this episode Larissa takes us through her three births across 14 years. She fell pregnant for the first time when she was 18 and followed her doctor's advice to have a caesarean. In her second pregnancy - six years later - she attempted a VBAC but had to be induced and an emergency caesarean was recommended. Her third and fourth pregnancies ended in second-trimester miscarriages and Larissa takes us through her choice to have medical management and birth her babies vaginally. Her next pregnancy continued to full term and as well as being educated about achieving a VBAC2, she surrounded herself with a supportive team and birthed her baby in “the best moment of her life.” _____________________ Check out - our empowering, evidence based online birth education program that will help you confidently prepare for a positive birth experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
