If you’ve ever wondered whether a VBAC birth is possible—or safe—this episode is for you. Today, Vanda sits down with Petra Cruz, a birth doula, VBAC educator, and mindset coach who had her own empowering VBAC after three prior C-sections.
Petra breaks down everything women need to know about VBAC births, including:
- What a VBAC actually is (and the many forms it can take)
- How to start exploring your VBAC options—whether pregnant or planning ahead
- The real, evidence-based risks (including the truth about uterine rupture)
- Why choosing the right provider and birth location matters
- How your “why” influences your birth experience more than anything else
Petra also shares how hospitals, home birth midwives, and providers differ in their VBAC policies—and how to advocate for the birth experience you want.
You’ll also hear about her Journey to VBAC membership, the community and expert-led support she created to help moms feel informed, confident, and empowered every step of the way.
Whether you’re preparing for a VBAC birth or simply want to understand your options, this episode is packed with knowledge, validation, and hope.
