Birth Story 66: Sam's Journey From C-Section to VBAC with Inductions & Epidurals

In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast Birth Story Friday, Roxanne welcomes Sam, who shares her personal journey of her two birth experiences. Sam's first birth was a challenging C-section following an induction due to high blood pressure, which led her to seek a different path for her second pregnancy. Determined to have a VBAC, Sam finds a supportive provider and prepares extensively through prenatal courses, pelvic floor exercises, and Hypnobirthing. Despite facing another induction for preeclampsia, Sam successfully delivers her baby vaginally. Her story emphasizes the significance of having a supportive medical team and the importance of preparation and advocacy in achieving a desired birth experience. 00:00 Introduction to the MamasteFit Podcast 00:01 Meet Sam: Two Birth Stories 01:27 Sam's First Birth: A C-Section Journey 14:30 Preparing for the Second Pregnancy 25:17 Sam's Second Birth: A Successful VBAC 36:13 Postpartum Reflections and Advice 41:17 Conclusion and Final Thoughts === Get Your Copy of Training for Two on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOTdwH —— ****Freebies***** Early postpartum recovery course:  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/early-postpartum-recovery-guide/  Pp sample  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/postpartum-fitness-guide/ Prenatal Sample:  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prenatal-fitness-program-guide/ Pelvic Floor  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-your-pelvic-floor-for-labor/ Birth Prep for Labor Guide  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/prepare-for-labor-guide/ Birth Partner Guide  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/birth-partner-guide/ Birth Plan  https://mamastefit.com/freebies/birth-plan-guide/
