Welcome to The VBAC Circle. Birth after caesarean is a journey — full of choices, courage, and new beginnings. It’s deeply personal, and every story matters. The VBAC Circle is a space where women share what that journey really feels like — the research, the advocacy, maybe there’s doubts, maybe there’s healing, and then ultimately the moment they step into birth again. Whether you’re preparing for a VBAC, supporting a loved one, or reflecting on your own past experience, you’re welcome here. I’m Lauren, and this is The VBAC Circle — let’s step in.
