Lil’s VBAC and Franklin’s Birth Story

April 21, 2026 · 57 min

Show notes

We are so happy to be sharing Lilly’s birth story of her second baby boy, Franklin 🤍

If you haven’t listened to Lil’s first birth experience with Ru, it’s a beautiful place to start and adds a layer of context to this journey: Listen to Ru’s Birth Story

This episode is a reflection of Lil’s slow and steady unfolding into labour — the layers she needed to shed, the surrender required, and the support systems she leaned into to move towards her VBAC.

Like so many births, it isn’t completely linear… but that’s often where the magic lives.

We talk through the mindset shifts, the body work, and the preparation that helped Lil feel ready to step into this experience — and what it actually looked like in real time.

If you’re preparing for a VBAC or exploring your options, these episodes were a huge part of Lil’s preparation:

This one is tender, powerful, and such a beautiful reminder of what it can look like to trust your body and your path — whatever that may be.

💛 If this episode resonated, please share it with someone preparing for birth or navigating their own VBAC journey. And if you haven’t already, leaving a review helps more women find Growing — we’re so grateful you’re here.
