Episode 102: Jen Kamel on COVID-19's impact on pregnancy and reproductive rights

On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Jen Kamel, CEO & Founder of VBAC Facts, a platform that helps perinatal professionals and cesarean parents achieve clarity on vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) through her educational courses, online membership, continuing education trainings, and consulting services.  We speak with Jen today about what the COVID-19 pandemic means for expectant mothers in terms of pregnancy and labor choices and outcomes.

During our conversation, Jen and I referenced the following resources and topics:

• The COVID-19 guidance offered by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
• The services and resources available at The International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN)
• A checklist of what expectant mothers should consider in preparing for VBAC during COVID
