Hannah is a mama of two that recently experienced an empowering and redemptive VBAC birth. Her daughter is two years old and was born via unplanned cesarean section at 37 weeks due to some last minute complications. She was determined for the years to follow that she would have an unmedicated VBAC with her second baby and that’s exactly what she did. Her son was born at 39 weeks weighing in at 9lbs 14oz and 23in long. She experienced 18 hours of unmedicated labor including an hour and a half of pushing along with some complications near the end due to a vaginal septum and extensive tearing. In the end, she felt birthing her son the way that she did was the proudest and strongest thing that she had done in her entire life.
