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.
Attempting a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is a safe and appropriate choice for most women who have had a prior cesarean delivery, including for some women who have had two previous cesareans, according to guidelines released July 21, 2010 by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Whether you choose a hospital or homebirth I will help support your decision.
