    E19 Surviving Placenta Percreta After Three Cesareans with Dawn Baranski

    93% of women pregnant after one or more cesareans are not informed about the risk of placenta accreta spectrum that rises with each subsequent cesarean. Instead, they are assured that a repeat cesarean is safe and a planned VBAC is risky and, as a result, they schedule another cesarean. Dawn Baranski was one of those women. After enduring the bait and switch after her first cesarean, she had one more cesarean with her OB's assurance that placenta issues are a "one in a million chance." When she got pregnant again after three cesareans, she developed placenta percreta - the most severe degree of placenta accreta spectrum - where the placenta grows through the uterine wall and attaches to other abdominal organs, most commonly the bladder. The safest way for her baby to be born was a complicated cesarean hysterectomy ending her fertility. Dawn recounts inadequate informed consent, her emotional and physical recovery from a cesarean hysterectomy, and why she considered an unassisted birth. She shares how her hysterectomy impacts her health to this day as she manages a vaginal prolapse and rectocele and her important message for parents and health care professionals. Jen also contrasts new research which found VBAC was accessible in only 16% of U.S. counties against a report from earlier this year where 84% of hospitals said they offered VBAC as well as her next virtual speaking engagement, opportunities for VBAC education for medical, midwifery, and nursing students, and reader feedback on therapeutic rest. 03:34 16% of US Counties Offer VBAC11:06 Leapfrog Report: 84% of US Hospitals Offer VBAC14:18 Next Speaking Engagement: Keynote at InJoy's 5th Annual (Virtual) Summit16:29 VBAC Education for Medical, Midwifery, & Nursing Students17:40 Reader Feedback: Therapeutic Rest & 24 Hour Labor Limit19:51 Introducing Dawn  Baranski20:50 Six Prior Vaginal Births, First Cesarean22:20 Bait & Switch Strikes Again24:49 What the OB Advised After Two Cesareans26:29 Thought About Unassisted Birth, Had 3rd Cesarean27:43 What the OB Said About Cesarean Complications30:51 Mother's Autonomy & Decision Making Scale32:18 Why She Wanted An Unassisted Birth After Three Cesareans35:45 Why She Choose to Birth Her Baby in Texas41:33 Birthing Her Baby via Cesarean Hysterectomy45:18 Health Issues From Her Hysterectomy47:13 Why She Had a Cesarean Hysterectomy For Her Percreta49:33 Hysterectomy Induced Early Perimenopause/Menopause51:00 Hormone Replacement Therapy During Perimenopause51:50 How Recovery From a Cesarean Hysterectomy is Different Than a Cesarean55:32 What Hysterectomy Has To Do With Vaginal Prolapse & Rectocele57:44 Advice For Those Who Need A Cesarean Hysterectomy58:39 "I Wouldn't Have Showed Up For My Scheduled C-Section"01:00:07 Advice For Those Pregnant After One Cesarean01:01:01 Advice For Those Pregnant After Two Cesareans01:01:48 "There Was So Much Information That I Was Not Told"01:02:24 Physician Dismisses Future Risks as "Theoretical"01:05:14 "VBAC Poses Unnecessary Risk We Can Avoid Through C-Sections"01:07:04 "It's Hard 'Cause I Don't Trust Them"01:09:12 "We Don't Attend VBAC Because We Can Get Sued"01:12:59 What She Would Say To The OB Who Performed Her First Cesarean01:13:57 What Dawn Wants You To Know01:15:02 How Her Births Have Changed Her01:15:50 Her Advice: "My Doctor Won't Let Me Have a VBAC" Want to suggest a guest we should interview, topic we should discuss, or share your birth story?

    E18 "I Never Thought a 20-Week Abortion Ban Would Impact Me" with Megan Kling

    Never thought you would have an abortion? That's exactly what Wisconsin mom and maternal health advocate Megan Kling believed until she became pregnant with her third much wanted and planned child. Megan courageously shares her deeply personal story of terminating two pregnancies for medical reasons. She discusses the profound impact of abortion restrictions, the challenges of navigating medical insurance, and the importance of advocating for safer maternal healthcare. Megan's story highlights the complexities behind abortion legislation, its real-life effects on everyday moms, the inadequacy of exceptions for the life of the mother, and how, if you can become pregnant, abortion laws impact you. She also addresses the concept of "babies born alive from botched abortions," how she coped with losing two much wanted children, and why she had to leave her state to access evidence based health care. Along the way, she shares how she traveled to a larger hospital to VBAC her second child with unsupportive providers as well as her subsequent plans to VBAC a second time at her local rural, community hospital, and how the June 2024 presidential debate propelled her participation in a political ad. Tune in to hear her powerful narrative that sheds light on why empathetic and evidence-based healthcare is crucial for all women. 00:00 Welcome to Episode 18! 03:29 Seeking Guests: Level 1 Hospitals That Offer VBAC 04:21 Meet Megan! 05:44 Why Share Her Story 07:07 If You Can Become Pregnant, Abortion Restrictions Can Impact You 11:18 First Pregnancy and Cesarean 13:14 No Mention of VBAC or Increased Risks After Cesarean 14:11 Pregnant Again, But Rural Hospital Says, "No VBACs" 17:32 VBAC Calculator Says 38% 18:54 Free VBAC Resources 19:48 "...I Guess We'll Let You Labor Anyway" 23:00 Third Pregnancy, Returns to Rural Hospital for Second VBAC 23:41 What Happens If I Decline a Cesarean? 25:47 Patients Are Not Obligated To Follow Hospital Policy 26:43 There Is Something Very Wrong 29:35 The Diagnosis 31:59 What Are The Abortion Laws In Wisconsin? 35:39 "Born Alive From Botched Abortions" 37:11 Pregnancy Is Too Complex To Legislate 38:02 How She Coped With Her Son's Passing 39:06 Ready To Try Again 40:04 Pregnant With Plans to VBAC at Community Hospital 43:06 And It Happens Again 44:09 Can't Access The Medications She Needs Due to Fear Surrounding Abortion Laws 47:09 "If I Had Not Experienced This, I Would've Never Known To Ask This Question" 48:14 Her Fourth Child's Birth 48:58 Umbilical Cord Abnormality 51:30 Why Did She Need To Leave The State? 52:32 How Abortion Bans Impact Health Care For All 55:33 Want to Learn More About VBAC? 56:53 Insurance May Not Cover Abortion Care (Even When Medically Indicated) 59:54 The Healthcare Gap Planned Parenthood Fills 01:01:29 Can You Get Pregnant?

    E15 A Psychologist's Journey Navigating a Hospital VBAC Ban with Dr. Denise Jaimes-Villanueva PsyD

    What do you do when you are pregnant after a cesarean and the only hospital in your community has a VBAC ban? Come hear the story of Dr. Denise Jaimes-Villanueva PsyD of Santa Barbara, California as she shares everything she endured to avoid compulsory surgery. From the challenges around finding a provider in a community where the influence of the hostile VBAC climate permeated to the financial and emotional factors that influenced her decisions, she discusses the journey of processing the grief of her births, what she would do differently, and the lessons she learned along the way. Her story illustrates why the refrain, "just find a supportive provider or hospital" is often trite and why every hospital with a L&D unit in the US should support and offer VBAC, as the American College of OB/GYNs has explicitly stated since 2017. 00:42 Welcome Denise!02:03 Her First Birth14:21 Navigating VBAC Bans24:12 Hiring Midwives to Labor at Home34:58 The Toll of Hostile Climate VBAC Planning36:46 Lessons She Learned50:18 Processing the Impact of Those Births54:40 Trusting Providers is Still Hard57:45 Her Message for Parents59:54 Her Message to Clinicians01:01:28 Her Message to Policymakers If you have a question about a prior episode, a topic you'd like me to feature, a guest you'd like me to interview (including yourself!), or a "VBAC win" (birth stories, policy changes, advocacy/legal victories) you'd like to share, go to https://vbacfacts.com/podcast.

    E14 An OB Scientist's Caution on the VBAC Calculator and Informed Consent with Dr. Nicholas Rubashkin MD PhD

    Ever use the VBAC calculator? Then you will want to listen to physician scientist and VBAC calculator researcher Dr. Nicholas Rubashkin, MD, PhD, an Associate Professor at UC San Francisco, as he reviews the historical and cultural implications of the VBAC calculator, a tool used to predict vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) odds. The conversation uncovers how the calculator has propagated racist assumptions that Black and Hispanic bodies are less capable of vaginal birth, the consequences of those assumptions on maternal care, and the problematic "60% threshold." They explore how to shift the conversation from risk-based to goal-oriented, how problems remain even after race and ethnicity were removed from the tool, recent research out of Sweden, and the fundamental ethical issues at the root of the calculator. The episode also addresses the concept of "controlling risk in advance," ethical implications of using surgery as a default solution, why some midwives don't use the calculator, and provides insights into future research and practices aimed at increasing equitable access to VBAC. 02:11 His Training and Background 09:25 How He Decided to Study the VBAC Calculator 11:25 Is VBAC a Political Issue? 13:38 New Limitations on Research Grants 16:48 The Many VBAC Calculators 20:37 How to Define Uterine Rupture 21:45 Race as a Risk Factor 23:28 The Power of Lived Experience in Research 25:55 It's Not Race, It's Racism 27:56 How Race & Racism Were Built Into the Calculator 29:28 Race & Ethnicity Removed from the VBAC Calculator 32:13 A New Form of Scientific Racism 33:03 Removing Race, Problems Remain 35:34 Response to VBAC Calculator Critique 38:34 Reader Q: Validate Prior FTP Cesarean 42:27 Swedish Study: 10cm FTP Diagnosis & Future VBAC Odds 43:36 Script for Using the Calculator 44:44 Reader Q: Psychosocial Elements of FTP 47:07 Science Beyond VBAC Calculator Comes From Oncology! 47:59 Calculator Contributes to Informed Consent? 51:04 Where to Start: VBAC Calculator & Informed Consent 54:01 Controlling Risk in Advance 01:01:02 The Fundamental Ethical Issue 01:03:16 The 60% Threshold 01:08:02 The "Necessity" of The 40/41-Week Scheduled Cesarean 01:10:28 Goal Oriented Conversations Have a comment or question for the podcast?
