The topic of where to birth is really loaded. Hospital birth is best for those who require an advanced level of care.
Does that include every VBAC, every time? Depends on who you ask.
Ultimately, people should birth where they feel safest. Where they will be heard, seen, and respected.
Hospital birth has been incredibly traumatizing to many people, and thus they seek to avoid it in subsequent pregnancies.
While there are absolutely amazing hospital-based providers out there, they are not present in every community. Hospital VBAC is not available in every community.
And even in those communities that they are, some may opt for community (home or birth center) VBAC. That is their choice.
As women and birthing people should always be aware of the risks and benefits of their options, within VBAC Facts® professional membership we have developed two handouts on VBAC community birth examining the most important factors women and gender expansive people should know.
Join membership and download these handouts today so you can easily communicate the facts to families: https://vbacfacts.com/membership (link in bio)

In the 1800s James Marion Sims became known as the “Father of Modern Gynecology” despite experimenting on enslaved Black women without any anesthesia. Today, artist Michelle Browder is attempting to rewrite that history by honoring the “Mothers of Gynecology” and creating a museum and reproductive teaching center. #michellebrowder #racialbiasinmedicine #joelbervell #wetheculture #jamesmarionsims #medicalhistory

The State of California is complicit in the deaths of every single victim of medical negligence in the state Repost from @consumerwatchdog

“Changing the balance of power on the Medical Board of California to put the public, not doctors, in charge is a starting point to rebuild the public’s confidence in a Board that for too long has valued the livelihood of doctors over human life.” Charles Johnson, Follow @4kira4moms
Reform of the Medical Board of California is long overdue.

Our nation has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country in the world, and more than 80 percent of these deaths are preventable. My Momnibus is the solution to this crisis and Congress must pass it immediately.

This type of corruption is not unique to California. We will not stop until doctors And healthcare systems are held accountable for the lives they have destroyed.
Powerful interview with patient safety champion and Medical Board of California member, TJ Watkins
Must watch!!
Medical Board of California Member Speaks Out
TJ Watkins says the Board is failing patients and protecting dangerous doctors. He’s demanding legislative action to put the public’s interests first.
