If you have been experiences with pelvic pain, urinary stress or urge inconvenience, pain with sex or feeling that you are in pain walking, you may need a pelvic floor specialist.
I have worked with some community partners and recommended that you reach out to those practices.

Whether or not to pursue a VBAC with a subsequent pregnancy is a very sensitive decision and families deserve full information about the benefits and risks of all their options, so that they can make the decision that is best for their family. VBAC is considered a good option for most people who have a scar in their uterus. There are a small number things that make a VBAC much less safe or more unsafe (contraindications). You can find good information from: evidencebasedbirth.com/ebb-113-the-evidence-on-vbac/ and vbacfacts.com/blog
The Association of Ontario Midwives has their clinical guidelines statement on VBAC freely available on their website as well as a really great document that’s called, for clients, Thinking about VBAC: Deciding what’s right for me. It’s a decision-making tool for people considering VBAC, and this resource is available for free in English, French, Spanish, Farsi, Arabic and simplified Chinese.
