Feedback

A mom with two prior cesareans:

This class is all about the facts. It is low pressure. It gives you information from scientific journals that will help you make the best decision for you and your baby At the end, you get to decide which set of risks you are willing to accept. It opened my husband’s eyes. Even though I’ve been telling him, he needed to hear the research and the numbers. Thank you!!!

A labor & delivery nurse:

Thanks for an outstanding class! It was very nice meeting you. Your hard work and dedicated research is incredibly impressive. Knowledge is Power, wish it would rub off on the whole OB community. I think the trend to eventually turn that direction for women’s choice of birth options will happen as more people put that kind of pressure on the issue. Bravo to you!

A mom with one prior cesarean:

My husband and I certainly felt even more confident after the class. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a VBAC.

Do I need to be pregnant to attend?

If you have had a cesarean and are considering your birth options, the best time to collect information is before you get pregnant. Then you have time to conduct your research and assemble your birth team without a due date looming. That said, it is never to late to learn.

But I live an hour away!

The average person who attends the class drives 45 minutes one way. 21% drive between 1 – 2 hours and 18% drive over two hours the attend this class! Don’t let distance hold you back!

Is your goal to convince women to have a VBAC?

I had a wonderful VBAC with my son. It was the right choice for me. However, you may find that the right choice for you is a repeat cesarean and that is your decision to make with your body. The objective of the class is to make hard to find and interesting information relative to post-cesarean birth options easily accessible to the people who seek it, not to convince anyone to make a specific decision. This class is a respectful environment and as such, your choices will be respected.
