VBAC Book

Does having a vaginal birth after a previous cesarean seem like a dream?

My book will show you how to turn it into reality.

With cesarean rates climbing, I felt it was crucial to provide a resource that not only discusses safe practices but also shares real experiences from mothers like you. This book is a blend of personal stories, professional advice, and up-to-date research designed to guide you through planning a safe, satisfying VBAC or gentle cesarean birth.
