#8 | Two C-Sections, Two VBACs, One Powerful Story | With Christen Makan

GUEST:

Christen Makan - Double VBAC mama and Massage Therapist

DESCRIPTION:
In this episode of the Sensible Mama Podcast, I’m joined by Christen Makan—massage therapist, mama of four, and absolute birth story powerhouse. While Christen supports pregnant women professionally, today she’s sharing from the deeply personal side: her own wildly varied journey through four births. From her first birth via C-section, to a victorious VBAC, to another C-section (thanks to a stubborn case of placenta previa), and then finishing strong with one more VBAC—Christen’s story is anything but linear.

She offers insight and perspective from each experience, giving practical thoughts for other mamas walking their own path. This conversation is filled with honesty, warmth, and the kind of hard-won wisdom only a seasoned mama can share.
