Description

After undergoing a c-section for her first birth, Allie knew that for baby number two, she wanted to go the vaginal route! In addition to diving into Allie's personal experience, we also discuss the statistics and common myths surrounding VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) deliveries.

Spinning Babies® (a method utilized in pregnancy and delivery by both Emma and Allie) is "a physiological approach to preparing for and caring for birth. During birth, babies descend through the pelvis by turning to fit each curve in the passage. Baby’s turns are “fetal rotation.” If fetal rotation can be made easier, birth is easier for everyone. Spinning Babies® has become a paradigm, or a new view on childbirth. By understanding birth physiology better we can help birth be easier."
