Description

I have previously said that I would love to have a homebirth after cesarean (HBAC) if I had a third baby. 

Well, I've changed my mind and I'll go over why in this episode. 

I am an advocate for choice and informed consent. I believe everyone has a right to weigh the risks and benefits and decide what type of birth is best for them. Whether that be a hospital VBAC, birth center, or homebirth. 

There is no right or wrong way to give birth, only the way you feel safest and most supported.
