Edmonton VBAC Support Association

We asked this question to the members of our CBAC support group:

"What are some themes/facts/thoughts about your CBAC experiences that you think are important to focus on during CBAC Awareness Month?"

(Please keep in mind that every person's perception of their birth will be different, and that is absolutely OK. Emotions can be extremely varied and even conflicting with any birth, but especially a CBAC.)

Here's what one mother shared...

"[It's important to understand] the loneliness of it. And the lack of support that you get from the VBAC community. I almost feel more alone with VBAC moms who feel 'empowered,' as if they took the 'right' steps, when really they did nothing different than I did. I had to mute or leave my VBAC groups because I felt like I had no place."
