Choosing vaginal birth after caesarean can be a battle in Australia, with some expectant parents reporting coercion, pressure, and even the 'dead baby card' being played.
Thanks to the women who shared their stories for this ABC story.

Australia has a low rate of vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) — and parents wanting one can face a battle

Vaginal birth after a previous caesarean shouldn't be a battle, but making it happen in Australia can be exhausting for some expectant parents.

On #GlobalEthicsDay we’re delighted to share the empowering work of @Becky_Brown13 and @AndieMulligan who show that women should get to choose how they give birth. They believe that pregnant women should be the ones to decide which risks they’re exposed to during delivery, which means it’s vital to ensure they are made aware of all the reasonable options available.

Did you write out birth stories for your children?

Today is a birthday in our house. As with the other birthdays, I am taking a moment to enjoy a coffee and re-read her birth story. Around age 3, this child decided that her birth unfolded differently:

"First, I didn't want to come out and then I did, so I punched my way out and danced for the doctor." 😂

TW: Birth story includes details of a midwife-attended planned home birth, with transfer to hospital for a surgical birth. The overall experience was incredibly positive and empowering, but might be upsetting for some. Of my 6 live births, this remains my most empowering birth experience, even more than the VBAC that followed two years later. <3

The Back-Up Plan -- A Birth Story — Refashionista
