Giving Birth – Once a C-Section, Always a C-Section?

Should having a caesarean section always lead to a surgical delivery in the future?

Pregnant moms who have had a previous Cesarean section may -in some cases- have trouble finding a doctor or hospital willing to let them try to have their baby vaginally, according to the National Institutes of Health. Attempting vaginal delivery after C-section is termed VBAC, or vaginal birth after Cesarean. Each option carries risks and benefits for the mother and baby.

Work together with your doctor to come up with a plan that’s right for your individual situation.
