Hi! I'm putting together a vbac birthart class. A little about me: I have been trained as a doula but not certified. I've had 3 vbacs at home. And I'm at the stage in my life and my children's lives where I'm ready to get back into birthwork. So one of my first things I want to do is this class. I've got four classes in mind with the following topics; Healing Birth Trauma, Finding Your Power, Nurturing Yourself and Your Family, and Opening.
Â
Every week I help a local doula friend out with office work in exchange for advice and mentoring. She kindly looked over my class notes and suggested I add a class that covered the logistics to getting a vbac. Mainly stuff like tips for a hospital birth, statistics about interventions (when they are helpful and when not), ect. Now, having had my vbacs at home, I don't have a clue about that.
Â
So I'm wondering if I should: A) Put in a class about logistics of vbac, or B) assume the people in that class will have that covered on their own.
Â
So, people of the healing Birth Trauma group. What do you think? What would you like to see in a VBAC birthart class?
Â
Basically each class will have art projects (easy and short) and journaling around the topic at hand. Sharing our stories, ect. Some pain coping techniques, snacks, and socializing.
Â
Thanks for your advice wise women!
