Episode 54 - Vaginal Breech VBAC birth in an MLU - Louisa's story

In this episode, I am chatting to Louisa, a mum of 3, who recently gave birth in a Midwife Led Unit to a breech baby. Louisa had a C-section with her first baby who was also breech and then went on to have a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) for her 2nd. Her preparation for her 3rd baby was very thorough, in order to achieve a similar experience to her 2nd birth.    After realising at the end of the pregnancy that her baby was breech, and clearly very comfortable in that position, she sought out help and support to achieve a vaginal breech birth.She looked into the opti breech project and talked to others like Kemi @kemibirthjoyjohnson, Laura @laura_lemontreebirth Zara @doulabud and Sheryl @simply_natal_healing_birth. She also listened to Dr Stu @birthinginstincts on the Better Birth podcast and used the skills of her hypnobirthing teacher from @loveyourbirth_training.Find your nearest hospital that supports vaginal breech birth - https://optibreech.ukYou can follow Louisa - @louisa_for_baby_for_meIf you would like to buy a copy of the book that accompanies this podcast - click here:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner — https://bit.ly/LabourofloveOr purchase a copy via my website - www.birthability.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner @birthabilityBook a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann  -  https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresfordPlease remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guest, based on her own experiences as a mother.  Any recommendations made may not be suitable for all women so listeners must do their own research before making decisions.  If you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.
