Type of Birth: From a Planned VBAC to a Caesarean Common Knowledge Trust Created by

You've wanted a VBAC and you're faced with another Cesarean. This can happen either before you go into labor or as you are laboring. What to do? This is where a great set of birth and birth coaching skills matters! When you own skills and use them then you will cope with whatever is 'happening' to you or around you. Giving birth is a very unique activity. Whether you labor or have a Cesarean, giving birth is still an activity you are doing with your baby. This means you can always use your birth skills (and your partner can use their birth coaching skills) to work together through this activity. Your Cesarean might be a huge disappointment or a life-saving medical procedure. Either way you can use skills ... and skills matter. You'll feel more involved, engaged and empowered because you committed to using your skills.
