In this episode of the Birth Rebel podcast, host Angel Wauthier discusses her journey to a successful vaginal birth after two C-sections (VBAC) during her fourth high-risk pregnancy. Through personal experiences with complications such as placenta previa and potential placenta accreta, Angel emphasizes the importance of understanding medical conditions and tools, the BRAIN acronym (Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Intuition, Nothing), and the roles of diagnostic tools versus screening tools like MRIs. The significance of a supportive and skilled medical provider and the critical nature of informed consent, continuous movement, and advocacy are highlighted. Additionally, the role of second opinions, a specialist in VBAC, doulas, hospital policies, and community support are discussed to empower expectant mothers in making informed birth choices and standing their ground during delivery. 00:00 Introduction to the Birth Rebel Podcast 01:25 Angel's Personal Birth Story 02:28 Understanding Placenta Complications 08:43 Navigating Medical Decisions 17:47 Seeking Second Opinions 25:15 Navigating High-Risk Births: My Personal Experience 25:51 Applying My Birth Experience to Your Situation 26:00 Flexibility in Birth Plans 28:22 The Importance of Advocacy and Support 29:39 Managing Labor and Delivery Choices 35:04 Educating Yourself for a Better Birth Experience 36:24 Understanding Hospital Policies and Rights 39:37 Seeking Second Opinions and Advocacy 45:46 Final Thoughts and Personal Reflections National Accrete Foundation - What is Placenta Accreta?
