VBAC Success Story w/ Sarah Agus-Bina

If you're aiming for a VBAC this pregnancy, this one is for you mama!

I had a wonderful conversation with My Essential Birth Mama, Sarah. She shares how she navigated pregnancy, labor, and birth with confidence — even when things didn’t go exactly as planned. We discuss everything from preparing her mindset during pregnancy to advocating during labor and embracing the beauty of her baby’s arrival. This episode is full of encouragement for any mama preparing for birth...and especially for my VBAC mamas!

 Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

2:12 – Preparing your mind for birth during pregnancy
How birth education (thank you MEB 😉), mindset work, and daily preparation played a huge part in how Sarah approached labor.

6:48 – Releasing fear and learning to trust your body
She talks about moving from anxiety to confidence after her first birth being an unexpected Cesarean.

11:05 – Early labor signs & knowing when it’s really time
What early contractions felt like, when she knew things were progressing, and how she handled the “is this it?” stage.

17:32 – Managing contractions naturally at home
Breathing techniques, movement, support from her husband, and what actually helped during active labor.

24:10 – Advocating for yourself in the hospital
How preparation gave her the confidence to ask questions, slow things down, and stay grounded in her birth preferences.

31:44 – When birth takes an unexpected turn
What it looked like to pivot with peace, make empowered decisions, and still feel ownership of her experience.

38:57 – Meeting baby & the emotions of delivery
The moment she saw her baby for the first time — and why she describes it as powerful and redeeming.

45:26 – Postpartum reflections every pregnant mom should hear
What she would tell herself if she could go back to early pregnancy — and what she wants you to know right now.
