In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Claire about her successful HBAC.
Listen to this podcast episode below
Claire had the uphill battle of trying to find a healthcare provider to support her in a homebirth after caesarean with Type 1 diabetes.
It’s incredibly challenging for women planning a homebirth to find a supportive midwife (although the midwives are growing in numbers each day yay!) let alone finding someone to support you if you have Type 1 diabetes.
Claire’s sugars were under control during her pregnancies and she birthed bigger babies 9.13 and 10.15
Claire had planned a homebirth with her first baby and after a fairly healthy pregnancy around closer to 40 weeks she found she was becoming borderline pre-eclampsia towards week 40.
She tried some “natural” induction methods which led to a 4 -day long on and-off labour. She got to 10cms and pushed and had a very high BP and transferred to hospital. That birth ended in her baby being born via C-Section.
Second pregnancy Claire found herself pregnant at just 10 month postpartum.
She hired the same midwife and had a super healthy pregnancy.
This birth she went into labour spontaneously and she shares her birth story and experienced navigating shoulder dystocia at home!
