Considering a VBAC?

If you’ve had a Cesarean birth by necessity or choice, and have decided to attempt a vaginal birth in a current or future pregnancy, the idea of planning a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) may seem overwhelming. There are so many emotions that often surround this decision.

Many blog posts have been written on how to have the best chances of achieving a VBAC from a medical standpoint, covering all of the things you should and shouldn’t do in labor and the tests you should and shouldn’t have late in pregnancy. This article has some great starting points for things to think about when considering a VBAC.
