This week we are joined by our first EVER expert guest; Liz Halliday from Private Midwives, who joins us to discuss all things home birth and VBACs (that's a vaginal birth after caesarean) alongside discussing the ever important topic, medical intervention!
Liz has recently retired as a home birth provider after 10 years on call but continues to manage Private Midwives in Ireland, and also works as a Tongue Tie Specialist. She joined us today to add a professional view to our last episode where we discussed Alexandra's home birth plans for baby no 2, following her caesarean birth in 2021. We talk about induction and the "need" for medical intervention, uterine rupture risk associated with VBAC, and why home birth might be a great choice for people to consider.
Finally, we talk about children being present at birth, why we need to talk to them about birth, and what it looks like. It's defo full on, jam packed full of juicy information for you to consider if VBAC or home birth are choices you're interested in, and we would LOVE to hear your thoughts and comments
