VBAC With Control
Stop “trying” for a VBAC — start understanding your options and making confident decisions
You’re not going into this birth the same woman you were last time.
Doors open June 2026 for a limited time only.
You’re here because…
You’re pregnant again… and already overthinking every decision.
You keep wondering “will I actually get a say this time?”
You don’t trust the system — but if you’re honest, you don’t fully trust yourself yet either.
And the thought of ending up in that same situation again?
You can’t shake it.
Maybe you’re being told to just “trust the process” this time — or wondering if you’re “allowed” to have a VBAC.
Maybe you’re already being labelled “high risk”… and you can feel your control slipping away.
Or maybe…
You’re closer than you think to a birth where you feel empowered as hell and don’t feel like it’s all happening to you again.
VBAC With Control is for mums-to-be who:
Are pregnant again after a birth that didn’t go how they expected, and aren’t sure if they can face going through that again.
Have thought about skipping the uncertainty altogether and booking a c-section, just to avoid ending up in that same situation.
But still feel that pull to experience birth differently this time, and not have it taken out of their hands.
Have been told they’re “high risk” and feel like things are already being decided for them before they’ve even had a chance to think.
Keep going back and forth between “trying” for a VBAC or booking another section because they don’t feel fully clear on their options.
Are tired of leaving appointments thinking “wait… what did I just agree to?”
And want to walk into this birth knowing what’s happening, what their options are, and how to actually stay part of it from start to finish
If you’re reading this thinking ‘yes, this is me’…
It’s your turn to…
-01-
Walk into your VBAC calm, clear and in-control
No more second-guessing or panic Googling. You’ll understand what’s happening, what’s “just policy” and what actually matters so you can make decisions that feel right for you.
-02-
Know exactly what to do when things shift
When you hear “we recommend…” you won’t freeze or feel rushed. You’ll understand what’s happening, what your options are, and how to respond even when it feels urgent.
-03-
Feel part of every decision
This isn’t about a perfect birth. It’s about not having it happen to you again. You’ll walk away knowing what happened, why decisions were made, and that you were part of it the whole way through.
Before your next midwife appointment things will have changed
You won’t be walking into your check-ups unsure of what’s being suggested or what it means for you.
You won’t be sitting there nodding along, only to leave thinking “wait… what did I just agree to?”
And you won’t be heading into labour hoping it goes differently this time.
You’ll know what’s happening
You’ll know what your options are
And you’ll know how to respond in the moment, even when things start to shift
The best part?
This doesn’t just change your birth
It changes how you experience every decision leading up to it, every moment during it, and how you feel when you look back on it afterwards
But wait…what if it just ends up the same way again?
What if you go through all of that… and still end up in an emergency c-section?
What if you don’t speak up in the moment, even if you know you should?
Of course you’re thinking that.
Because last time, things changed quickly. Decisions got made fast and before you even had time to process it, you were being wheeled into an operating room.
Thing is, this isn’t about doing everything “right” or hoping this time goes differently.
It’s about not being in that position again.
It’s about knowing what’s happening as it happens — so you don’t freeze, panic, or end up right back in the same situation again.
Here’s what makes this different:
● This doesn’t just prepare you for a VBAC — it prepares you for the moment things start to shift
● You’ll know what’s actually being recommended (and what’s just routine), so you’re not quietly agreeing to things you didn’t choose
● You’ll learn how to respond in real time, even when it feels urgent, instead of defaulting to “ok then…”
● It’s built around the exact moments women lose control in labour — not ideal scenarios or textbook plans
● You won’t just “feel confident”, you’ll trust yourself enough to actually use your voice when it matters
Hey, I’m Eleanor
I’m a multi-award-winning Hypnobirthing Antenatal specialist, Doula, a 3-Step Rewind Birth Trauma Practitioner, and a mum of two.
And I’m here to tell you this straight:
You don’t need to “just go with the flow” and hope this birth goes differently.
Because that’s exactly how so many women end up back in the same position again.
You need to understand what’s happening, what your options are, and how to stay part of it when things start to shift.
Because here’s what I’ve seen, over and over again working with women preparing for a VBAC:
It’s not that they didn’t want a different experience.
It’s that no one showed them how to navigate what happens when things change.
So yes, I’ve done the training.
But I’ve also been the pregnant woman sitting in rushed appointments, leaving with more questions than answers
And I’ve supported women in labour hearing “we recommend…” and watching that moment where everything suddenly feels out of their control
That’s exactly why I created VBAC With Control.
Not to promise you a perfect VBAC
But to make sure you never feel like your birth is something that just happens to you again
Because when women go into birth understanding what’s happening in real time, everything changes
They say things like:
“I knew exactly what they meant when they said induction, and I knew it was the right decision for me this time.”
“I didn’t feel rushed or pressured. I actually felt part of the decisions being made.”
“My partner knew what was going on and how to support me instead of just looking to the midwives.”
Because this isn’t about getting a certain outcome.
It’s about walking away from your birth knowing you understood it, you were part of it, and you didn’t lose yourself in it.
How it works:
VBAC With Control is a short, focused course you can actually finish before birth — whether you’ve got weeks to prepare or just want to feel more clear before your next appointment.
Inside, we don’t just prepare for birth:
We break down exactly what’s happening, what your options are, and how to handle the moments where things tend to shift — so you’re not figuring it out on the spot.
Here’s what you’ll get:
● A clear, no-fluff breakdown of VBAC, risk, and what it actually means for you. So you’re not sitting there hearing percentages and worst-case scenarios without understanding what they really mean.
● Full clarity on your options — not just what’s offered to you. So you can see the difference between hospital policy and your actual choices, and stop feeling like decisions are being made for you.
● Real-life “we recommend…” moments, broken down. So when you hear it in labour or appointments, you already know what it means and how to respond.
● The exact questions and responses that slow everything down. So you don’t default to “ok then…” when things suddenly feel urgent.
● Support for your partner so they don’t just sit there unsure. They’ll understand what’s happening and how to back you up when it matters most.
● VBAC-specific birth prep that actually changes how labour feels
From understanding your body after a caesarean to creating the right environment and knowing what supports a physiological birth.
● Mindset work that actually makes sense after a previous birth. So you can tell the difference between fear and intuition, rebuild trust in yourself, and stop feeling like you have to “get it right” this time.
● A simple decision-making framework you can use in appointments and labour. So when something is suggested, you can quickly understand your options and decide what feels right for you — without second-guessing yourself afterwards.
Bonus:
● Access to the Birth With Choice, online library of resources; so you’ve always got Hypnobirthing Audios, positive birth videos and trusted resources at your fingertips.

Why Birth With Choice?
Because you don’t need a birth prep course that’s full of information but nothing that prepares you for the reality of having a VBAC in the NHS maternity system.
Mums choose the VBAC With Control because it prepares you for what actually happens — not just the information, but the moments where decisions are made, pressure builds, and everything starts to shift
So while everyone else is sitting in midwife appointments hearing “we recommend…” and feeling rushed into decisions they don’t fully understand
You’ll already know what that means
You’ll understand your options before anyone else tries to tell you what they are
And you’ll know exactly how to respond, even when it feels urgent
For the question girlies
-
A: That’s exactly why this exists. This isn’t about trying to control the outcome or guarantee a VBAC. It’s about making sure you’re not in the dark if things start to change. So instead of it all happening around you, you understand it as it’s happening and stay part of it.
-
A: This course combines hypnobirthing tools with VBAC-specific prep, so if you want support for staying calm, grounded, and in control while also knowing how to handle real NHS conversations and decisions, this is for you. If you want the full hypnobirthing antenatal course from 12-42+ weeks of pregnancy and you’re not specifically preparing for a VBAC, Birth With You is perfect for first time parents.
-
A: This is a short, focused course you can actually finish before birth. You can move through it in a couple of hours, or dip in around appointments and come back when you need it. No overwhelm, no huge time commitment. Perfect if you’re exhausted from chasing around kids and don’t have as much time as you used to!
-
A: Yes. You’ll have clear questions, ways to respond, and a simple way to understand what’s being suggested so you’re not trying to figure it out under pressure.
-
A: Yes. Especially then. This helps you understand what that label actually means for you, what your options are, and how to navigate those conversations instead of just going along with them.
-
A: This isn’t about avoiding a c-section at all costs. It’s about making sure that if that happens, you understand why, you feel part of the decisions, and you don’t walk away feeling like it was all out of your hands.
-
A: That’s a really common fear. This course is built around those exact moments. You’ll know what’s happening, what to ask, and how to slow things down so you’re not relying on confidence alone in the heat of it.
-
A: You don’t need months. Even going through this before your next appointment can change how you show up, what you ask, and how you understand what’s being suggested to you.
This course is built for impact in a short amount of time.
You’ve thought about “trying for a VBAC” long enough.
You don’t need more time to think about it.
You need to be ready for it.
Let’s do this.
