Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery Description
|
|
A cesarean birth is the delivery of a baby through an incision (cut) made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. Doctors used to believe that if a woman had one cesarean delivery, all other babies she had should be born in the same way.
Today, doctors know that many women who have had a cesarean delivery can later safely give birth through the vagina. This is called vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) delivery. VBAC can be a safe option for many women. However, it is not the right choice for all women, and there are some risks.
This pamphlet will explain:
- Why you may want to think about trying VBAC
- What risks are involved
- Whether VBAC is right for you
