Erin’s VBAC story is a shocking one! Her contractions never got to be more than seven minutes apart, and how the fetal ejection reflex happened so quickly that her baby was born at home, unplanned, and unassisted while her doula and husband were pounding on the locked front door outside. There is a lot of fun and inspiring information in this story; it is sure to be a quick favorite for all. Then, we talk about home birth safety, and, as always, you can learn more on our VBAC blog at thevbaclink.com/home-birth-vbac/.
