VBAC ~ Vaginal Birth After Cesarean
.
What
is a VBAC ?
.
A
Vaginal Birth
After Cesarean
is exactly what it refers to... giving birth via the normal, natural
route through the vagina, after previously having one or more cesarean
sections.
.
I had a previous
C-section, is a home birth an option for me next time I am pregnant?
.
There
are specific considerations that each, individual woman and her midwife
must discuss, but in most situations, having had a
previous cesarean does NOT "risk-out" women from considering
having a home birth, aka:
HBAC ~ Home Birth
After Cesarean
HBMS provides HBAC to
select clients after a thorough interview and review of a client's
previous cesarean operative report(s).

Introducing the newest acronym
regarding VBAC...

.
WBAC ~ Water Birth
After Cesarean
.
Water is by far the safest place to have
a VBAC.
.
The
support of
the water allows for 3 key safety supports for VBAC;
-
the woman can tune in to what her body is telling her about her uterine
scar;
-
the woman needs no other pain relief that would obscure her own ability
to tell if her uterus is rupturing. Not having an epidural means she
won't need dangerous augmentation medications;
-
water can slow down the action of the uterus allowing a gentler
progression
of the birth process.
I have heard a lot of "talk" about the risk of uterine
rupture during labor after a previous cesarean.
Where can I learn
more about the FACTS?
