"Once a cesarean, always a cesarean"-- a myth that continues to limit the birthing options of hundreds of thousands of people every year. Join me and Lizzy Morris, as she discusses her two birth stories: her first ending with a primary cesarean and her second, as she prepared for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)-- with loads of drama along the way!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Lizzy's story of her first birth, which ended in cesarean
  • The steps Lizzy took to find a better provider as she prepared for her VBAC
  • How midwives can also be weight biased
  • Lizzy's ability to navigate challenging situations with her pregnancy support team
  • The birth story of Lizzy's second baby
  • The importance of advocacy during pregnancy and birth
