Episode 33- "How to Have a Successful VBAC & Do What's Right For You" with Sarah Bilger, Prenatal & Postpartum Doula

Send us a textAfter 9 months of patience, preparation, and anticipation, what we want is a smooth, well-planned birth with a happy beginning. Unfortunately, it's common to experience the opposite. Maybe your labor wasn't what you expected. There might have been problems along the way. Maybe you had problems or mistakes were made. Maybe your doctor or nurses didn't listen to you or honor your wishes. Or you and your baby might have experienced trauma or needed a C-section. (That's why doula work is so important. And why a lot of moms become doulas!)There's nothing worse than feeling like you're invisible when you are at the mercy of others. These situations are all-too-familiar for Sarah Bilger, an engineer and doula who specializes in VBAC preparation. Her passion for doula work and successful VBACs took root after her first child was born. Her baby came by C-section so she was told that this was the only option for her in the future. That didn't feel right. She listened to her gut and dove down the rabbit hole of researching.Casual reading wasn't enough for Sarah, so she took doula certification courses. She shared what she was learning on her podcast, "Entering Motherhood." She had no idea that these decisions would change her life. Now she is helping other women prepare and experience the birth stories they are hoping for.Listen to the show to hear more and feel inspired and validated by Sarah. Join us for a few laughs and lots of ah-ha moments. You'll enjoy Sarah's warmth, fun personality and walk away with insight and tips. (Hear some of Meredith's stories, too!)If you've been told you must have a C-section from now on, listen for guidance and motivation so you can do what's right for you!Bonus: As you listen to Sarah's story, pay attention to your thoughts and feelings about doula work. Is there a dream inside of you, waiting to be discovered? Maybe you're onto something. Would you enjoy a birth world career? Then reach out and let's talk about it!

Send us a textToday's episode is the third in a series of interviews discussing the negative and worrisome aspects of traditional sleep training like Ferber and cry-it-out. Meredith Brough, sleep coach and childcare expert, interviews Sarah R. Moore, MFS and parenting expert, about her stand on this important topic. This series is meant to empower parents to make the best parenting decisions possible when it comes to sleep.Old-fashioned sleep training methods teach parents to Ignore their children's cries (no matter the type of cry), hold back comfort, and force little ones to become independent, whether or not they are ready for it. Parents often set aside their connection with their children while using these methods. These methods can cause lasting consequences for many babies and toddlers. We'd like to hear what the experts say about these issues and other concerns that they might have, as well as discuss positive, supportive ways to improve sleep.You're in for a treat today! Sarah brings up concerns that haven't come up on the show previously, that are eye-opening and enlightening. She also shares her perspective about using sleep training methods as a parent and being on the receiving end, as a young child. You won't want to miss this captivating conversation between Meredith and her guest! You'll find yourself crying one moment and laughing the next. Learn insight that will help you make the best decisions for your child's long term well-being and help you become a better parent.Topics:Why we shouldn't believe that sleep training is safe or healthyHow high cortisol levels affect babiesWhat's different about being quiet and shutting downHow sleep training might affect parents & children long termLaid back, easy going babies versus sensitive babiesWhat matters most in parenting babies & young childrenHow to create a secure attachment with your childWhat to expect from children who are shy or reserved & need extra time to become independent Ready to understand your child better?
