“Once a C-section, always a C-section” is a myth.
VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) is a safe and viable option for many women, with success rates between 60–80% for low-risk pregnancies.
Yet many families are never told it’s an option.
Barriers like hospital policies, limited provider support, and cost can make VBAC feel out of reach.
💛 I personally know how amazing a VBAC experience can be, as this was my birth story with my second baby. It was incredibly empowering, to the point that it actually changed the direction of my life and started me on the path to birth work, ultimately to my current position as the executive director of The Trillium Collaborative.
At Trillium House, we believe families deserve informed, evidence-based care and real choices for their births, including after a cesarean.
Through The Trillium Collaborative, donor support helps expand access to midwifery care that supports VBAC and reduces unnecessary repeat cesareans.
✨ If you’ve had a C-section, you still have options.
✨ If you want to make a difference, you can help make those options accessible.
