All Things VBAC, Vaginal Birth After Caesarean
After supporting a second-time mum who wanted guidance in planning for a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean. I spent time reviewing the latest evidence, statistics, and best practice guidance to ensure she felt fully informed and confident in her choices. The session was so positively received that I’ve now added it as a dedicated 1-to-1 class.
In this personalised session, we explore VBAC in depth including your individual likelihood of success, the benefits and risks, and the circumstances in which a repeat caesarean may be recommended.
We also discuss induction options after a previous caesarean, what to expect during labour, and how to approach this birth feeling prepared and empowered.
My aim is that you leave the session feeling clear about your options, confident in your decisions, and supported in planning the birth that feels right for you.
What areas does this class cover
- What does a VBAC birth mean
- What are the success rates of a VBAC
- How you can prepare for a VBAC birth
- How your birth might differ from a low-risk vaginal birth.
- How to ensure you still have a relaxing birth environment.
*A discussion with your midwife following may need to take place to establish the policies and processes at your chosen hospital.
A follow-up email will also be received with a summary of what has been covered in the class.

Birth Plan & Hospital Bag Packed & Ready Session
This 1-to-1 session is all about helping you feel organised, clear, and fully prepared for labour.
We’ll begin by exploring your birth preferences and discussing all of your options, so you feel informed and confident in your decisions. Together, we’ll create a realistic, personalised birth plan that reflects what matters most to you. After the session, I’ll professionally write up your plan and send it to you by email, with one round of amendments included if needed.
In the second part of the session, we’ll make sure your hospital bag is packed and ready. We’ll review what you already have, identify anything missing, and pack it together so everything is organised and easy to access when the time comes.
