117- The Truth Is in the Data: What VBAC Research Actually Says with Jen Kamel of VBAC FACTS

You’ve heard the statistics.You’ve Googled uterine rupture. You’ve read the studies. You’ve joined the VBAC groups. You’ve probably heard one number from your provider and a completely different one somewhere else.But here’s the question:Do you actually know what the research means?In this episode of Made for Birth, I’m joined by Jen Kamel, founder of VBAC Facts®, to dig into the research behind vaginal birth after cesarean.Jen has spent nearly two decades studying VBAC and repeat cesarean research and helping parents, birth professionals, policymakers, and even the courts better understand what the evidence actually says.And we’re going beyond simply quoting statistics.We’re talking about how to look at VBAC research critically, why context matters when interpreting risk, where some of the numbers we hear about VBAC actually come from, what the research can—and cannot—tell us, and why truly informed decision-making requires more than being handed a percentage.Because “the research says…” can sound pretty convincing.But WHICH research? What population was studied? What was actually measured? How strong is the evidence? And does that statistic even apply to the person sitting in the room?If you’re planning a VBAC, supporting VBAC families, or you’ve ever wondered why what you’re being told doesn’t seem to match what you’re reading, this conversation is one you’ll want to save.The Truth Is in the Data: What VBAC Research Actually Says with Jen Kamel of VBACFACTS.COMCONNECT WITH JEN + KEEP LEARNINGVBAC Facts® https://vbacfacts.comHow to Read Medical Research: https://vbacfacts.com/how-read-medical-research/VBAC Facts® Professional Membership: https://vbacfacts.com/membership/MORE FROM THE VBAC FACTS® PODCAST🎧 E12 — Jen Kamel’s Interview on All Things Women’s Health🎧 E13 — Why This OB/GYN Passionately Supports VBAC AccessSend me a text if you have episode request.
