I just wanted to thank you again for the awesome class (the time flew by)! We had a beautiful VBAC! My hubby even referenced what we learned in class to know where we were at in the labor process.​ ​- Kelsey, Minneapolis

"Given the available evidence, trial of labor is a reasonable option for many pregnant women with one prior low transverse uterine incision.” – Over 95% of women!

* ACOG (2010):
“Most women with one previous cesarean delivery with a low-transverse incision are candidates for and should be counseled about VBAC and offered TOLAC.”

     Class allowed us space to revisit our experience with my son, how we both experienced his birth, and our hopes and fears for the birth that is coming up.  I was surprised at the emotions it brought up for both of us, how much more connected we feel going in to our second child’s birth, and that we are on the same page for what we want... We got so much out of this class that we will carry with us... - Ann, Minneapolis
