We have a great episode for you going into the new year. Julie, one of your hosts, shares her struggle with breastfeeding after each birth and the very different feeding journeys each of her four babies have had. You might even hear the self-proclaimed “not a crier” choke up a bit as she walks through her story with you. Each journey is so different; you are sure to relate to some of her story. Feeding your baby is not one size fits all, and this unique perspective amplifies that.

Jenna’s story is so much fun. Her C-section was due to a breech baby that wasn’t known until she was in labor. The doctors were considering performing breech delivery until the baby’s feet, legs, and hips were out and presenting with a cord. The Cesarean happened immediately to get her baby out. You will never guess what happened right before her VBAC! Find the referenced information on breech and more on our VBAC blog at thevbaclink.com/blog.
