This episode is all about vaginal birth after caesarean section. In this episode I draw on our first interview with Hazel Keedle way back in episode 7 with some updates. We discuss the strategies that you can apply to increase your chances of VBAC and also the risks and benefits of a repeat caesarean and the option of vaginal birth.

If you loved this talk with Hazel, you can come and see her speak live at the Convergence of rebellious Midwives conference happening in Sydney, Australia in August 2024. All the details and ticketing options are through here
