If you’ve ever felt like your birth options are limited after a cesarean, this episode will change the narrative. VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) isn’t just a possibility—it’s an empowering opportunity to reclaim your story, heal from past experiences, and step into your power.
In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, I sit down with Carmen Rocha, a childbirth educator and VBAC advocate who has supported countless birthing people on their VBAC journeys. Carmen shares her personal experiences and offers actionable advice to help you prepare your mind, body, and heart for this transformative birth experience.
What You’ll Learn:
🌟 What VBAC is and why it’s an empowering option.
🌟 The essential mindset work to release fear, heal trauma, and rebuild trust in your body.
🌟 Physical preparation tips, including pelvic alignment techniques and somatic work.
🌟 How to navigate the medical system, advocate for your goals, and find supportive care.
🌟 The importance of trusting your body and making decisions aligned with your intuition.
Carmen’s wisdom and inspiring client stories will leave you feeling informed, confident, and ready to explore the possibilities of VBAC.
