Meet Jen Kamel, the Founder of VBAC Facts
They are told that the ultimate good they can do is to sacrifice themselves for another. And they are cut off from their own needs, wants, desires, health, and bodies.
Flash forward to the time when they have their own children within the medical system.
And the concept of respectful medical care is held up as an impossibility for the sake of the baby.
The truth is, healthy babies, healthy parents, and a respectful birth experience should be the goal.
In that spirit, our community wants to increase VBAC access or have a VBAC themselves. But with so many expert opinions and medical studies flying about, it can be hard for anyone to identify where the truth lies.
And when obstetricians say things like…
Parents feel confused, alone, and scared.
Birth professionals who support VBAC feel frustrated, powerless, and lose hope.
We believe we are all worthy and what happens to the bodies of pregnant people matters.
We believe healthy parents raise healthy babies.
We are against the divisiveness that permeates virtually every decision one must make around pregnancy and childbirth.
We help birth professionals, and parents who have had cesareans, through our membership site for professionals and educational programming for parents that allows them to achieve clarity on the evidence and politics surrounding VBAC.
As a clinical researcher, I find that Jen does an exceptional job in presenting research objectively and in context. It is very refreshing.
