In today's episode we meet Susan who shares the first four of her nine birth stories. Susan had her babies between the years of 1973-1989 and is now 71 years old. Her first birth ended in a cesarean after her water broke, labor didn't immediately start, and the hospital's induction timeline ran out. After that birth, Susan was told that she could never have a baby vaginally, but she went on to have two hospital VBACs, one of which was to a 11 pound baby, and an HBAC with a 10 pound baby.

Join us as Susan shares her first four birth stories, how hospital policies and procedures have changed over the years, the interventions that she endured during her hospital births, and how she eventually decided to just give birth to her babies in the same place that they were conceived.

Today’s episode is Part One of a two part series, so tune in next week to hear Susan's next five HBAC stories.
