This story was so beautiful I had to respost it on my blog when I read it. Oh, it just makes you feel so happy reading about this midwife and OB collaborating to give this woman her VBAC despite all the odds being against her. Coolness.

Some Inspirational VBAC bloggers

It is always a great idea to connect with some other VBAC bloggers, those who have already birthed their babies, and have blogged about it, and also the women who are in their VBAC journey with you! Here are some great ladies I love to read about their stories, and their journey to VBAC.

Kristin from Birthing Beautiful Ideas:

I think I find her story especially wonderful because I had my two sons in Ohio too, and looked up to her beautiful VBAC story for inspiration. I love the picture of her holding up the 10 fingers when she is 10 cms dialtated. For some reason that stuck with me, because for a VBAC mama to get to that point is a huge hurdle that takes a lot of strength and courage. Love her story, and a new one coming up in the not too distant future.



Gina, The Feminist Breeder, of course:

Ahhh, what can I say about The Feminist Breeder's amazing VBAC that people do not already know. She has a very popular blog, and even live blogged her homebirth VBAC! It was amazing to say the least, I was tearing up, and then when she posted this video made for her some few days later, that definitely got the tears flowing. Just perfect.


  

Mrs. BWF's had a VBA2c and 2 UC's:

This is one of the best blogs around for any woman who has experienced a traumatic birth. She posts some beautiful stories, including her own, which help you realize the power in your own body and your ability to birth without fear being one of the most important things to help you on your VBAC journey. 



Paige from The Crunchy Mamacita: 
Her blog follows her modern-day hippie ways, and her recent VBAC video is just so breath-taking. You can see the joy on her face even in labor.




Meagan's lovely blog 

I know Meagan personally, and actually met her when I was pregnant with my second, and hoping for a VBAC she told her story to a group of women in a birth meeting and I was just floored. So beautiful, I love her amazing birth photos, and the fervency she has for all things birth and VBAC, it is contagious!  I was instantly drawn to her while on my VBAC journey and actually she was the first person I messaged when I thought labor was starting and I wanted a solid rock to stand on.




Theresa and her TWIN VBAC blog and journey:
Her journey through a twin pregnancy and her hope for a VBAC was so courageous and I love that she did it! So happy she had a twin hospital VBAC, this story is very inspirational, and even though she wishes it might have gone a little differently her story is still very moving and will help other women realize that their VBAC  dreams are not shattered just because you are caring multiples. 





Jessica's VBAC journey currently being chronicled: 
Jessica just announced the beginning of her second pregnancy journey towards a VBAC, although she has been blogging about VBAC for quite some time. I really love all her posts, and can not wait to blog stalk her through her VBAC journey! 







I am sure I have missed some awesome ones, maybe I will do a second post later on with some other great blogs to check out!
