To kick off this third episode in the VBAC podcast series we are pulling apart the research and discussing all the topics of big babies, inductions and going over-due and how they relate to vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC).
In this episode I chat with Julie and Meagan from @thevbaclink about:
- Does having a “big baby” reduce your chance of VBAC?
- How accurate are ultrasounds at determining baby size?
- How to help women feel more empowered about birthing a larger baby
- Are inductions safe for a VBAC?
- What are the different methods for induction for VBAC?
- What does the evidence tell us about going “over-due”?
- What are the risks associated with going beyond 40 weeks
- Does having a longer pregnancy affect your chance of a VBAC?
I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, jump over to @physiolaura and tell me what you learnt!
