C-Sections, VBACs, and Birth Plan Pivots: Making Room for the Unexpected

In this episode of 2 Dope Black Doulas, we’re breaking down the truths, myths, and emotional weight behind C-sections, VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), and the unpredictable turns birth can take. Whether your baby comes through your belly or your birth canal, your story deserves honor, support, and choice.

We talk about:

Why C-sections happen and how to prepare for them
The real deal on VBACs and how to advocate for one
Reframing birth plan changes as powerful pivots
The doula’s role in every kind of birth journey

✨ Remember: your power isn’t in the plan—it’s in the knowing, choosing, and being held through it all.
