VBAC Babies



The Babies Are VBAC in Town: Vaginal Births After C-Sections

Whether your previous c-section was emergency or elective, it is possible to have a vaginal birth in your next pregnancy. The term VBAC is a simple acronym for “Vaginal Births After C-section”

There are many pros to consider a VBAC including:

  • Avoiding another scar on your uterus. The more scars you have on your uterus, the greater the chance of problems with a later pregnancy.
  • Less pain after delivery.
  • Fewer days in the hospital and a shorter recovery at home.
  • A lower risk of infection.

VBAC consent

If you consent to a VBAC, you and your provider will discuss a Trial Of Labor. This term means you plan to go into labor with the plan of vaginal delivery, however, depending on the labor process, it is possible you might still end up with a c-section. In rare cases, your c-section incision can open during a vaginal birth, which poses an extreme health risk for both mother and baby.

The possibility of a VBAC  can depend on a variety of things including previous birthing routes. If you have had three or more c-sections, you may not qualify as a VBAC candidate. Other high risks in pregnancy may impede you from having a VBAC.

Because every pregnancy is unique to you and your child, it is important to discuss your pregnancy history with your trusted OBGYN provider.
