Many women question whether or not they REALLY need a doula in order to have a VBAC.
There are several potential benefits to having a doula including:

  • Decreased need for pain medication like epidurals.
  • Decreased rate of induction of labor.
  • Potential for shorter labor times.
  • Decreased rate of c-section.
  • Overall more positive birth experiences

Even with these general benefits of doulas, not all doulas are going to beneficial to your birth experience. If you opt to hire a doula, make sure they are the right doula for you and your goals for birth. Every person you invite into your birth space is an intervention and has the potential to sabotage your overall birth experience.
But is it really necessary to hire a doula for your VBAC? Is it possible to have a positive VBAC experience without one?
Listen to this episode to find out my take as a VBAC mom and doula who specializes in VBAC.
