"The Intentional birth course completely changed my views about birth. Before the course, I was hoping for a VBAC in the hospital but had a lot of fear and honestly doubt in regards to my body’s ability to have a VBAC, and even though I loved the idea of a home birth, I thought it would be impossible for me. Working through the Intentional Birth course opened up eyes to not only the possibility of a home birth, but also gave me 100% confidence in my body’s ability to have a physiologic birth and make an informed decision for myself. Every single question or fear I had was addressed in the course. As I progressed through the course, my excitement and preparation for birth just continued to grow. By the end of the course, I knew that my body would do what it needed to do to have the VBAC I so badly wanted. I ended up transferring to the hospital after my home birth due to a hemorrhage. The knowledge I gained from the course allowed me to advocate for myself during my hospital stay. I knew exactly which interventions I wanted and didn’t want and felt the freedom and confidence to make the decisions that I felt were best for me. I would not have been able to have the empowering home birth I had without the Intentional Birth course."
