If you had only 20-30 minutes to talk about VBAC with clinicians and professionals, what is the one thing you would want them to know? Whether you are a parent or a clinician/professional, I'd love to hear from you. Today I'm recording a presentation for a summit coming up on May 12-14 (mark your calendars) and while I have it all set, I couldn't help but wonder what you thought Reader. Reply and let me know ASAP as I plan to record in about an hour. I might take a screenshot of your comments and cite you, so let me know how you want me to identify you, if at all.

If you tried to tune into my interview on Whole Mother Radio per the dates I gave you a couple weeks ago, sorry about that. The publishing calendar changed and it aired this past week. But, you can still listen to the whole thing here! The host Pat Jones and I talk about top VBAC myths, informed consent & responsibility, the power we all have, maintaining the fire for change, and so...
Hi Reader, I have so many parents who come to me because they are trying to have a VBAC. I want to offer you something. If you want a VBAC, try saying, "I'm planning a VBAC" or "I will labor after a cesarean" or even "I'm going to have a VBAC" rather than "I'm going to try." Do you feel the slight difference in those statements? The first three hold intention. Power. Strength. Clarity. The person saying them is someone who knows what they want.
