Becoming a mother and forming a family is an exciting time in your life. It’s full of joy and discovery, but can at times be overwhelming and even isolating. WRM acts as a community hub for new moms. We invite you to come meet other new and expectant parents in one of our Momma‘s Circle’s. You’ll feel welcome in our comfortable, relaxing, and supportive setting in which you can swap stories, ask questions, and find support on a weekly basis. Discussions range from parenting styles to sleep and feeding challenges, and always promise plenty of laughter along the way. Pre-registration is not necessary, as classes are offered on a drop-in basis. New babies and crawling babies are welcome. Parents and babies aged 0-18 months are invited to stay after the groups to enjoy each other’s company as you build your community. All circle’s are facilitated by a CLC every Thursday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at Well Rounded Momma.

The purpose of the informal morning VBAC Circle is to meet and talk to women who share the common experience of birthing by caesarean section. As each birth is different, each woman has a different perspective of their experience. The emotions involved can span from good to bad to down right devastating. Respecting all of the emotions associated with birth is a core element to the success of our morning circle. Listening and learning from others can help you to view things from different perspectives and aid in your own emotional healing (if needs be). Another element to the support meetings is to share information and thus aid informed choice. The topics of conversation can be predetermined or just ‘flow’ on the day. Our VBAC Circle will also cater for particular interests and arrange relevant guest speakers. Donuts and tea will be provided. Partners are most welcome.
What is VBAC!
VBAC is an anacronym for vaginal birth after previous caesarean, and was coined in 1974 by Nancy Wainer Cohen joint author of the now famous ‘Silent Knife’.
VBAC is neither dangerous nor the desire of the foolish. The average woman who aims to birth her baby vaginally is actually following good medical science. The proof is written in reams of research papers in the most trusted and esteemed obstetric journals around the world. VBAC is safe when labour is allowed to progress normally with no unnecessary interventions (and in a VBAC labour that is most), and it is successful in the majority of women (70-85% and higher).
Read the information on when to have the next baby, preparing for a VBAC, inductions, birth stories and try to get some of the books on the recommended reading. These are the things that will assist you in understanding if VBAC is the right option for you, contact tiffanie@wellroundedmomma.com for support as we are all women who have been there to.
