Julie: Ready? 

Meagan: Happy New– 

Julie: Oh, are we supposed to say it together? Oh, sorry. Okay, I’m ready. Let’s go again. 

Meagan: No, you were just saying okay, but let’s do it together. Okay, ready? Remember I did this last time? 

Julie: Okay, 1, 2, 3– 

Meagan and Julie: Happy New Year!

Julie: No, it was not right. 

Meagan: Well, we’re going to leave it. You guys, we’ve been trying to say Happy New Year at the same time. There is a delay, I’m sure, on both sides, but Happy New Year, you guys. Welcome to The VBAC Link. It is 2025, and we are excited for this year. Oh my goodness. 

Obviously, you have probably caught on that there is another voice with me today. 

Julie: Hello. 

Meagan: I have Julie. You guys, I brought Julie on today because we have a special announcement. I didn’t let her get away for too long. I didn’t want her to go. I couldn’t. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been bringing her on. I’m like, “Can you do this episode with me? Do you want to do this episode with me? Do you want to do this episode with me?”

And now, at least for the next little bit, she’s going to be doing her own episodes. She is helping me out. 

Julie: Yeah. 

Meagan: We have been doing two episodes a week for almost a year now, and it’s a lot. It’s a lot. 

Julie: You have been such a champ. 

Meagan: Oh my goodness. So that’s what we’ve been up to. I decided that Julie needed to help me. She was so gracious to say, “Yeah, I’ll do it.” Get this, you guys. She was nervous the first time. 

Julie: I was like, “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Meagan: But she totally does know what she’s doing. But yeah, so you will be hearing every so often Julie’s voice solo. She is going to be hosting the show solo, so you will be hearing a little bit of a new intro with her and I where we are both talking so you don’t get confused, but I don’t think it is very confusing. Julie has been with us since the very beginning because her and I created the company. It’s been so fun to have her here, so thank you, Julie, for helping me out. 

Julie: You are always welcome. It’s always a pleasure. 

Meagan: I’m trying to think. I want to talk about 2025 and some things that we have coming up as far as stories go. As a reminder, if you have not subscribed to the show, please do so. As you subscribe, it will send you the episodes weekly. 

Right now, like I said, we are doing two a week, so soak it all up. We have so many great stories. We have stories from OB/GYNs. They are doing Q&As. We have polyhydramnios. 

Julie: Polyhydramnios. 

Meagan: Yes. I always want to say dramnios. We are going to be talking about that because we have a lot of people who have been asking about more unique things. Poly is not necessarily unique, but it’s not talked about, so we are going to talk about the high fluid, low fluid, unsupportive providers, and if you have been with us for a while, the biggest thing that we talk
