Pain Free Birth #82 | When Birth Gets Better and Better: A VBAC Home Birth Testimony
What if your next birth didn’t have to look anything like your last one and could actually be better?
In this episode of the Pain Free Birth Podcast, Karen sits down with Blake, a mom of four who shares her incredible journey from a discouraging first C-section to three transformative home births after cesarean.
Blake walks listeners through each birth from a 77-hour marathon VBAC to a three-hour birth and finally a two-hour labor where she felt completely in control. Along the way, she opens up about healing hidden birth trauma, learning to trust her body, choosing supportive providers, and experiencing the redemptive power of faith-centered birth preparation.
Tune in to hear:
