Dr. Lea Feghali PT, MPEd, DPT
About this episode

Thinking about a VBAC but not sure where to start? In this episode, I sit down with Marianne, who shares her experience of preparing for and having a successful VBAC in Sweden. We discuss the key factors that helped her, from mindset shifts to practical birth prep, as well as the differences in VBAC policies across countries.

Join me, Dr. Lea, as we explore the benefits, risks, and real-life considerations of VBAC to help you feel informed and confident in your birth choices.
