VBAC Preparation £11.99 (Vaginal Birth After a Caesarean)


"I really believed the CD helped me as I could visualise the babies head descending and stretching my perineum. It was all very calm and as a result I had not cuts or tears. Within 2 hours of the birth I felt great having showered and dressed. It was so much easier than a Caesarean. All the midwives remarked on what a great birth I had – especially being a VBAC. It may not have eliminated all the pain, but I am sure it made it a calmer and easier birth"Zoe Newman


"Having a home birth after the terrible Caesarean experience I had last time was truly magical as well as cathartic. I now realize what birth can and should be like. I was so in control, I had complete confidence in my body and I was calm and relaxed throughout. Thank you so much for your help". - Becky, Hampshire

"I am delighted to inform you that I gave birth vaginally to a little boy, Luke, on 22nd April. This was after two Caesarean. I found your CDs enormously beneficial, and your advice on the telephone, about the uterus being extra strong because of the scar tissue. All were positive affirmations that a normal delivery was indeed possible. My husband and birthing partner also listened to the CDs, it made my experience one I shall look back on with awe and gratitude." Lindsey, Cornwall

The VBAC Preparation is a 2 CD set to help mums prepare for a vaginal birth after they have had a caesarean birth.

VBAC I, the first CD is a clearing, releasing and relaxing CD to help you overcome any negative emotions and issues relating to your past caesarean experience.  Using the CD from 6 weeks onwards will help you overcome negative emotions and issues relating to your past caesarean experience.  The CD helps you to recognize fears and concerns which are directly connected to your previous experience and then takes you, step by step through a powerful "letting go" exercise. This enables you to "clear the path" and look ahead to the next birth, recognizing that every birth is unique and every labour is different.  The CD then moves you to a new place where you can increase your confidence and inherent trust and belief in your body’s ability to give birth vaginally.

VBAC II ,  this second CD focuses on preparing for the forthcoming birth and takes you on a guided visualisation through giving birth vaginally. It focuses on increasing your confidence, courage, sense of control, ability to communicate effectively and to make decisions in a clear, calm way.   This CD is the VBAC version of the Birth Preparation cd which won the Practical Parenting  “Pregnancy Product of the Year”. 

The CD also provides the same relaxation and pain management techniques used in the birth preparation CD, helping you to manage the sensations of birth.
