Episode 436 Amanda’s Scheduled Repeat Cesarean Turned VBAC

For this last episode of 2025, we wanted to emphasize just how unique all VBAC journeys really are, and Amanda’s story does just that! Women of Strength, VBACs are possible in sooo many different scenarios, even the ones that weren’t planned or prepped for.  Amanda thought she was having a planned C-section, but with a little gentle encouragement from her care team, she ended up with an unplanned, completely intervention-free VBAC. The way Amanda’s team communicated with her every step of the way is SO COOL to hear about. Her first birth was a traumatic crash C-section with NICU time and postpartum anxiety/OCD, but her second was healing and empowering. Amanda wants other moms to know that while you don’t have to do all the “things” to have a VBAC, prep can make a big difference. We’re so grateful to our podcast guests, listeners, and support this year! Andddd….. We are excited to share some BIG news for the podcast in 2026. Stay tuned for next week’s HUGE announcement! Any guesses on what it might be??
