Birth Story 26: Breech C-Section and VBAC with Juliette

In this week's episode, Juliette shares her two birth stories. For her first birth, Juliette was preparing for a vaginal birth, but then found out that her baby was breech at 32 weeks. At 37 weeks, she opted for an ECV, but her baby did not tolerate the procedure, and she went in for a C-section that very day. This experience left her feeling a lot of anger and defeat after having spent months getting educated and working hard for the experience she dreamed of having. For her second birth, Juliette planned for a VBAC, and after months of really focusing on changing her mindset and birth preparation, Juliette was able to have a successful vaginal birth and a positive, redemptive birth experience.  At the end of this episode, Gina and Roxanne discuss the differences between having a Birth Path versus a Birth Plan, and how this can help you have the most positive experience possible.
