60. Esophageal Atresia, Unexpected C-Sections, and Trusting Your Intuition with Liz Eidelman

May 19, 2025 • Hannah Gill | VBAC Mom, VBAC Doula, and Childbirth Educator.

In this episode, I’m joined by Liz Eidelman, a New Jersey mom of two, doula, and content creator with a passion for helping women take control of their birth experiences. Liz shares her journey through two very different, yet equally challenging, births—and how those experiences sparked her desire to empower others to have satisfying, informed, and empowered births.

We discuss:

The challenges Liz faced during her own births and how they shaped her mission to improve birth outcomes.
The importance of true informed decision-making and what that looks like in practice for moms.
How birth trauma can spark change not just for the mother but for the birth system as a whole.
