Can you use hypnobirthing for VBAC’s (vaginal birth after caesarean)?

Just because you required a caesarean for your previous birth doesn’t mean you can’t have a natural birth now!

A common question we get is – Can you use hypnobirthing for VBAC’s?

Yes, our Hypnobirthing Australia Courses are absolutely suitable for VBAC. In fact, we think that unbiased, independent, comprehensive childbirth education is more imperative than ever when you are planning a VBAC.

The secret sauce of our program and what makes our program different to others is we are about positive birth not just natural birth. Our program prepares you for all types of birth. Our course is designed to make you feel empowered no matter what path your birth takes.

I would recommend that you get started as soon as you are able to! The sooner you start, the more time you will have to remove fears, research your options, negotiate your preferences with caregivers, and condition yourself using the techniques.

And here are some extra resources for you… because ‘knowledge is power’. 😉

Here are a couple of birth stories shared by other hypnobubs mums who have attended the course:

We have face-to-face classes available Australia-wide, but if you are not able to attend these – then I highly recommend that you look into joining the Hypnobubs Hypnobirthing Online Course.

We have online support available via the learning platform and you are also able to email us as support, too. We hope to see you ‘inside the course’, soon!
