"Once a cesarean, always a cesarean"-- a myth that continues to limit the birthing options of hundreds of thousands of people every year. Join me and Lizzy Morris, as she discusses her two birth stories: her first ending with a primary cesarean and her second, as she prepared for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)-- with loads of drama along the way!
In this episode, we discuss:
- Lizzy's story of her first birth, which ended in cesarean
- The steps Lizzy took to find a better provider as she prepared for her VBAC
- How midwives can also be weight biased
- Lizzy's ability to navigate challenging situations with her pregnancy support team
- The birth story of Lizzy's second baby
- The importance of advocacy during pregnancy and birth
