Such an important topic and when you hear the statistics that Joyce shares in this interview its truly so strange that we don’t talk about it more. The Blues, Depression….. We need to talk about it …
CAST 005 VBAC Birth and Inspiration for Becoming a Doula
In this Episode 5 of Mum’s The Word we have Aya Mass-Forstner sharing her very real and raw birth experiences. The birth of her first child, albeit every effort to have it be otherwise, ended in a cesarean section. She felt helpless connected to all the iv’s and not being able to take care of her own newborn in her daughter’s first few days of life.
Following this experience she educated herself tirelessly and researched all that she could and her second birth was a VBAC birth.
Listen in and you’ll resonate with her authenticity and you’ll be truly inspired by her story. Although this is (released as) episode #5 this was my first podcast interview ever!! and I was so so happy and uplifted after speaking to Aya, her excitement and passion were totally infectious.

Empowering birth
Her passion is for them to make conscious birth decisions, to be aware of their strength and to believe in their body! Her experience taught her that an empowering birth can have a positive ripple effect on our journey as mothers. As women.
