Making birth after Cesarean better.
Online VBAC Courses
At The VBAC Link, our mission is to make birth after Cesarean better, by helping parents preparing for VBAC birth build confidence in their birth choices.
We are Julie Francom and Meagan Heaton; between the two of us we have supported over 700 parents in their VBAC journeys, have had three HBAC’s, and one VBA2C. We get you!
Besides our VBAC courses for Parents and Doulas, you will want to make sure you check out our podcast of VBAC stories, VBAC blogs, and our Facebook community of support. We also have a collection of VBAC doulas to help you during your VBAC pregnancy and more!

Along with being doulas and moms, we have a passion for all things VBAC and empowering moms to play an active role in their pregnancy and birth by finding out the true VBAC risks and benefits.
