VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) - An Interview with Dr Hazel Keedle

In this episode we have Dr Hazel Keedle and we are talking all
things VBAC, vaginal birth after caesarean!


Hazel is a lecturer of midwifery at Western Sydney University,
Australia. Hazel has worked in midwifery group practices, an
aboriginal medical service, a variety of hospital settings and as
a privately practising midwife in both city and regional
locations.  Hazel’s passion for VBAC followed her own
experience of having a VBAC with her daughter in 2008 and since
then has published research on women's experience of having a
VBAC at home and on her PhD work exploring women’s experiences of
planning a VBAC across Australia. Hazel is currently the lead
researcher on Australia's largest survey on women's experiences
of maternity care, the Birth Experience Study. Hazel is
passionate about improving support for women during pregnancy,
birth, and the early transition to mothering.  


We asked Hazel all the questions you’ve been asking us for months
to discuss! So here it is folks the topic you’ve been waiting
for. Hazel definitely left us with some golden nuggets, you want
to have your pen and paper ready.
