The Truth About VBAC: History, Politics & Stats

NoVA Birth Network is proud to be bringing Jen Kamel, Founder/Director of VBAC Facts, to the DC metro area to present "The Truth About VBAC: History, Politics & Stats." The workshop delivers an evidence-based and unbiased review of interesting, pertinent, and hard to find information relative to post-cesarean birth options. It is a solid and fully-cited compilation of statistics, analysis, recommendations, and observations directly from respected medical journals, professionals, and organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the National Institutes of Health.


Experience the workshop that parents, medical providers, birth professionals, and advocates have described as outstanding, impressive, informative, easy to understand, non-judgmental, evidence-based, priceless, and the best resource to date. RN, MW, CBE, and doula CEs.  Full refunds are available for those who miss the class due to attending a birth.


Part of the proceeds will benefit the NoVA Birth Network Doula and Midwife Scholarship fund.

"In addition to the evidence that Jen covers, I also loved the more practical parts of the class. What is the difference between informed consent and scare tactics? Why do so many hospitals ban VBAC? How do you find a *truly* supportive care provider? How can you have a successful VBAC in the hospital? What are the pitfalls of hospital VBAC that you can prepare for and avoid? Why do some women choose home VBAC?" Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN, APRN, EvidenceBasedBirth.com.
