What is Vaginal Birth After C-section?
The name, Vaginal Birth After C-section, describes the procedure itself. Often abbreviated as VBAC, it refers to the process of giving birth via normal delivery, after having undergone a C-section for your previous pregnancy.
It is a safe and efficient substitute for subsequent caesarean delivery and offers many wonderful benefits for both the mother and the baby.
VBAC is not an option for everyone and the decision to opt for it should be taken only after consulting an expert.
Who can go for Vaginal Birth After C-section?
Not every woman who has had a C-section in the past can undergo vaginal delivery. There are many factors that influence your eligibility for vaginal delivery after c-section. These include:
- Type of incision during C-section: VABC is not an option for women who have had a classic incision C-section in which a vertical incision is made on the abdomen. It is specifically recommended for women with transverse incision C-sections.
- Complications during C-section: If you’ve had a C-section for a non-recurring complication like the breech position of the baby, you may qualify for VBAC, but not in case of recurring complications like preeclampsia
- Overall health of the expectant mother: It is important to make sure that you do not have any health complications that interfere with the process of vaginal delivery
- Number of C-sections you’ve had in the past: VBAC is generally recommended for women who’ve had just one C-section in the past. In the case of multiple C-sections, there may be risks of certain complications that need to be assessed with proper medical evaluation
How to prepare for Vaginal Birth After C-section?
Women who qualify for a VBAC will be provided with a set of instructions and guidelines on how to get ready for the surgery. This comprises:
- Regular prenatal checkups to make it easier for the obstetrician to keep track of both the mother’s and the fetus health.
- Birth preference discussions during which you can talk to your obstetrician about your birth preferences and create a personalized birth plan.
- Medication, lifestyle and diet modification to prepare you for the delivery and ensure a safe experience
- Pre-assessments to look out for any potential risks that may call for the need for switching to C-section
