What Does VBAC Stand For?

VBAC stands for Vaginal Birth After Caeserean

VBAC, or Vaginal Birth After Cesarean, refers to the process of delivering a baby vaginally after a previous cesarean section. This method is often considered for women who have had one or more previous cesarean deliveries and desire a vaginal birth in subsequent pregnancies. VBAC can offer benefits such as a shorter recovery time and reduced risks associated with repeat cesarean surgeries, but it also carries certain risks that should be carefully evaluated with healthcare professionals. Proper assessment and monitoring during labor are crucial for ensuring the safety of both the mother and the baby.
