  • ”Can I have a VBAC if my c-section was for Failure to Progress?”
    Oct 4 2022
    "Can I have a VBAC if my c-section was for failure to progress" is one of the most common questions moms wanting a VBAC will ask.  Understanding the reason for your cesarean can be a critical part of healing from your c-section and preparing for a successful VBAC. Often, when a woman is told her c-section was for "failure to progress" aka not dilating enough or fast enough, she believes that her body is not able to dilate and therefore a vaginal birth will never be possible.  The good news is that you CAN have a VBAC after a c-section for failure to progress. 

    Inside this episode of the VBAC podcast, we dive into reasons that a woman may not dilate efficiently in labor and what you can do for a better birth experience next time. 

    Make sure you check out the FREE Combating Fear During VBAC online VBAC prep class to learn more about how fear and safety cycles can impact labor progression and cervical dilation.  For more VBAC resources visit www.littlebearlactation.com/links 

     

    Client Testimonial: "Jaimie is not only a resource, she's a support system inside your support system that you didn't know you needed. She walked with me through the emotional and mental turmoil that comes with a traumatic emergency C-section birth experience. She is so kind and so brilliant. She is extremely educated and will talk through the medical parts that don't make sense and then she'll debunk entire thought processes. If you are looking for someone who knows their stuff, will advocate for you, will answer your 1000 questions and will bring peace into (or back into) your life, Jaimie is your woman. I will absolutely call her once I am pregnant again. I couldn't imagine not involving her in my next pregnancy. She gave me peace of mind that I could absolutely do a VBAC. Do yourself a favor and just type out that little email to her. You'll feel like you're talking to an old friend"
