Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) refers to the practice of delivering a baby vaginally (naturally) after a previous baby has been delivered through cesarean section (surgically).
According to the American Pregnancy Association, 90% of women who have undergone cesarean deliveries are candidates for VBAC. In the South Bay, Torrance Memorial Hospital has lifted the ban on VBAC. Long Beach Memorial also allows VBAC delivers. Please ask your obstetrician about their VBAC policy.
