About this listen
Welcome back to season 2 of The Push Podcast!
In this episode, Nurse Sydney and Dr. Meghan McGrattan break down TOLAC (Trial of Labor After Cesarean) to help women truly understand their birth options after a C-section. If you’re pregnant after a cesarean or you're a curious woman with aspirations of being a mom, or just a girl who loves to learn, this conversation walks you through the science behind TOLAC, including success rates, uterine rupture risk, hospital policies, and evidence-based guidelines, so you can separate fact from fear.
We will explain how providers determine candidacy for TOLAC, teach you how to interpret relative versus absolute risk in a way that actually makes sense, and offer tips on how to advocate for yourself. This episode is about women’s health education, informed consent, and empowering you to push for the birth you want, ask the right questions, and make a confident, values-aligned decision about your birth with all the information!
