About this listen
After a traumatic first birth with Chloé, I spent my entire second pregnancy hoping for a VBAC, but also being terrified of it. At 39 weeks and 3 days, I scheduled a backup C-section “just in case,” but prayed that baby Rémi would come early on his own.
In this episode, I walk you through the full story from the first contraction at 2:30 a.m. to delivering our big 9-pound boy at 12:15 p.m. the same day.
You’ll hear:
✨ Why I wanted a VBAC (and how fear played into my decision)
✨ What those early contractions at home were like
✨ Me begging for an epidural upon admission
✨ How quickly things progressed once I got to the hospital
✨ The intense final moments - CODE PINK!!!
✨ A painful postpartum recovery (ice diapers, hemorrhoids, and all)
This episode is real, emotional, and a little wild (equal parts funny and TMI). So if you’re not up for talk about hemorrhoids and vaginas, maybe skip this one 😉
