Description

“There was no fear. There was nothing traumatic about it. It was just healing and it was so empowering to know that my body could do that. It was an out-of-this-world experience.”Windsar has had three pregnancies and four wildly different deliveries. Her first birth was a medicated, vaginal delivery in a hospital. About 18 months later, Windsar became pregnant with identical twins. Shortly after twin A was born vaginally at 32 weeks, Windsar experienced a cord prolapse, and twin B was then born via emergency Cesarean. Windsar knew her next birth needed to be healing and redemptive. She did all she could to achieve an unmedicated VBAC and finally get the golden hour she never had with her three other babies. Her VBAC birth story is intense, empowering, and absolutely beautiful.Additional LinksNeeded WebsiteHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsFull Transcript under Episode Details Meagan: Welcome, welcome to The VBAC Link. I am excited to be talking to you today with our friend, Windsar. Hello, Windsar. Welcome to the show. Windsar: Hello. Thanks for having me. Meagan: Absolutely. She has a story that is not something that we hear very often. We do have one person on the show that has had a similar scenario but actually, it was just her first two babies. Of course, it’s a VBAC, but it’s a twin birth where twin A is vaginal and twin B is Cesarean, then she went on to have a VBAC. So yeah, it’s not something that we hear about a ton or talk about but Windsar was just telling me something that I had heard but didn’t know if it was true, so I’m going to take it because she was told and had a twin birth. When they are identical, there is a higher chance, correct? Windsar: A higher chance of what specifically happened to me which was cord prolapse. Meagan: Right. Yep. I was going to say a higher chance of having this happen which would lead to a Cesarean and that’s cord prolapse. So when baby A came out, there was a whole bunch of room that was created. Baby B came, but the cord came first. Windsar: Mhmm. Review of the WeekMeagan: That is a very valid reason to have a Cesarean and get baby out. So we’re going to share your stories and your VBAC but of course, we have a Review of the Week. This review is from Janellemb142018. It says, “Perfect combination of data and stories.” It says, “I’m getting ready to attempt my VBAC after three C-sections this month.” Yay! It says, “I always wanted a VBAC, but my providers were what I know now to be more tolerant than supportive which resulted in me never getting the chance to attempt a VBAC. I stumbled across The VBAC Link and have now become a fierce advocate for myself.” Oh, I love that. “A fierce advocate”. That is what we want you guys to feel is that you can be a fierce advocate for yourself through learning from this podcast. It says, “This podcast arms you with the perfect balance of data and stories. The data has helped me make a better-informed decision and push back when providers and even loved ones at times try to fill me with fear. The stories are inspiring and make the data seem real. I know my VBAC is not guaranteed, but I feel like I’m in the driver’s seat which in itself is a better experience already. I am where I am today thanks to the resource like this amazing podcast.” Oh, thank you so much. You know, just like what she said. I know a VBAC isn’t guaranteed and sometimes it doesn’t end in a VBAC. That’s okay, right? Sometimes it doesn’t even end up with that and someone maybe might choose to switch their mind and say, “I want to have an elective Cesarean.” But what’s most important is that you find the information and feel that you have the data to make the best decision for you and your family. That is what this podcast is for. It’s to bring you guys empowerment through these stories, the data, and the knowledge so you can go out and make the best choice for you. Just a reminder, if you haven’t left a review, we love reviews. In fact, these reviews, you guys, m
