This conversation with Paige about her C-section journey was beyond eye opening for me. Paige reached out to me on the day that my first episode aired to congratulate me on starting this podcast and the strong need for supportive communities for women who have had C-sections. She also mentioned that she could relate to my C-section stories on such a deep level, because she, too, has had 3 C-sections and attempted a VBAC and VBA2C.
Some of the topics that we talk about are choosing and fighting for healing after traumatic experiences, the importance of vulnerability while trying to put the pieces back together, the necessity that women come together to support one another, scar tissue and how it can impact labor and childbirth, and your spirituality with God while mourning the birth experience you did not get.
Since her C-sections, Paige has been very intentional about self-love and realizing her strength through her birth journey. Paige is a transcriber for The VBAC Link podcast, and she is also an admin for "CBAC Support - The VBAC Link Community", which strives to help moms who did not get the VBAC experience they had hoped for. Paige also is in the process of becoming a doula, as she wants to help other moms assert themselves to fight for the birth that they want and honoring all birth stories, whether that is a VBAC or a C-section.
