Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section (VBAC)
(GY018)
Introduction


For decades, it was thought that women who had a previous cesarean delivery (CD) had to deliver subsequent babies by CD because of the risk of complications such as rupture of the old abdominal and uterine incision sites during contractions and the birthing process.

The old medical adage, "Once a cesarean, always a cesarean" is no longer accepted as a general standard. VBAC is now considered a safe, and even preferable, alternative for most women, including women who have undergone more than one CD in the past. In fact, it is thought that 80-90% of women are candidates for VBAC which are successful in 60-80% of cases.
