A FREE GUIDE FROM JENNIFER HAZI, MIDWIFE IN PRIVATE PRACTICE
Planning a VBAC.
The honest guide for women who want a vaginal birth after caesarean, or want to want one, and are trying to make sense of the noise.
Free. Sent straight to your inbox. No spam, ever.
After a caesarean, some questions tend to stay.
Was it really necessary? Could I have done anything differently? And underneath them, the one that brought you here: What will I do next time?
You've probably noticed how little of what you're handed actually helps you think. A number, quoted without much context. A recommendation, often more certain than the evidence beneath it. This guide is the other thing. The honest version.

Who's behind the guide
I'm Jen, a Registered and Endorsed Midwife in private practice in Paddington, Sydney. I work independently with women making the decisions that matter most, including the one you're holding now.
I wrote this guide because I kept wishing I could just hand it to people. It leans toward VBAC, because that's the path that asks more of you. But a planned repeat caesarean is a calm and genuinely good choice for many women, and if that's where you land, you'll find no judgement here. Only honest information, whichever way you go.
If you want to make sense of your options, this is for you.
This guide is general information, not personal clinical advice. It can't account for your individual history. Always discuss your own situation with your midwife or doctor.
