75- The Birth That Changed Her: Baylee’s CBAC as a Labor & Delivery Nurse

In this powerful episode, Baylee, a labor and delivery nurse pulls back the curtain on her two cesarean births—and the emotional and personal growth that came with each one.Her first birth happened early in her nursing career. She trusted the process, trusted the staff, and expected her induction to unfold with guidance and support. Instead, she was met with fear-based messaging, pressure to comply, and decisions made without truly informed consent. The result? A cesarean she didn’t feel prepared for—physically or emotionally.Her second birth was different.Yes, it ended in the OR again—but this time, everything had changed.She found VBAC-supportive care, hired a doula, asked hard questions & advocated for what mattered mostAnd while her second cesarean wasn’t the VBAC she had planned, it was family-centered, respectful, and deeply healing.We talk about:What informed consent should actually feel likeThe emotional layers of a CBACWhy the way you’re treated matters more than how you give birthAnd how you can reclaim your power, even when birth takes an unexpected turnThis isn’t just a story of two cesareans. It’s a story of clarity, confidence, and what happens when you finally feel seen in the birth room.Baylee is a wife, mama of 2, and an OB nurse.
