If during your past pregnancy, you had a Caesarean section and you’re pregnant now, you may have the option to having a repeat Caesarean section again, or instead, have a vaginal birth after cesarean or VBAC.
For some women, VBAC is a choice. Indeed, those who have a trial of labor after a cesarean section may have an effective vaginal birth.
VBAC isn’t for everybody, however. Certain factors like uterine scar may make the choice wrong. A few hospitals don’t offer VBAC because they don’t have the right staff or equipment to deal with emergency Caeseran sections. In case you’re thinking about VBAC, your OB-Gyne physician can assist you.
