In this week’s episode, I’m joined by VBAC doula Shannon Whitlock from Moonstone Rose Birth in Cambridgeshire, who shares her incredible VBA3C (vaginal birth after three caesareans) story. Shannon’s story is one of deep determination, radical self trust, and the courage to challenge a system that often underestimates what’s possible. She faced dismissive meetings with senior staff, coercive practice and the made her fight for every ounce of autonomy. This birth story about resilience, advocacy, and what it means to stand your ground in a system that too often forgets who it’s there to serve.✨ Connect with Shannon:Website: www.moonstonerosebirth.comInstagram: @moonstonerosebirthTikTok: @wildhoodmotherhood✨ Resources and Links:Read the latest National Maternity and Perinatal Audit (2025): https://maternityaudit.org.uk/Follow The VBAC Hub CIC on Instagram: @thevbachubFollow The VBAC Hub CIC on TikTok: @thevbachubSupport our work: Crowdfunder – Support The VBAC Hub CIC with start-up costs💛 The VBAC Hub CIC is building evidence based resources, training, and community spaces for families and birth workers navigating VBAC and repeat caesarean birth.If you’d like to help us grow this work, through sharing, donating, or simply tuning in, thank you!
