You want to know what will get me bending over backwards like nothing else?
â¨A mom who comes to me telling me she wants to have a VBACâ¨
The story I hear so often is "Baby was fine, they just weren't coming no matter how long I pushed. The OBGYN told me my pelvis was too small."
And despite hearing this, these moms *still* decide to have a VBAC. Why?
Because they KNOW it's a load of baloney.
A *true* size discrepancy between a baby and a mom's pelvis is so, so rare. So why, in my little practice in my little corner of town, do I hear this story over and over again? I should hear it once in a blue moon.
It's because a majority of hospital providers don't have an understanding of how the pelvis and pelvic floor work and move in labor. They put women on their back to push for their convenience, not the convenience of the mom. They get antsy when things don't happen within a certain time frame. And rather than admit those things and admit their own ignorance, YOU get blamed.
"Your pelvis is too small."

I love supporting moms as they go on to have their VBAC, more often than not to an even BIGGER baby the next time. We talk about their labor, what their pregnancy was like, and provide them with hands on work, targeted exercises, and a plethora of education to help prepare them for their next birth.
Did you have a VBAC after being told your baby was too big? Tell me about it đđ˝
