This episode is a follow up to episode 93 and discusses the research around the different techniques when closing the uterus after a caesarean section. Some care providers will tell you that single layer closure represents a higher risk of uterine rupture, but I found 5 research papers that say otherwise.

This episode is all about vaginal birth after caesarean section. In this episode I draw on our first interview with Hazel Keedle  way back in episode 7 with some updates. We discuss the strategies that you can apply to increase your chances of VBAC and also the risks and benefits of a repeat caesarean and the option of vaginal birth. 

If you loved this talk with Hazel, you can come and see her speak live at the Convergence of rebellious Midwives conference happening in Sydney, Australia in August 2024. All the details and ticketing options are through here
