                      Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC)


                      For moms who have already had a cesarean birth (C-section), you may be able to have your next baby vaginally. This is called vaginal birth after cesarean, or VBAC. According to the March of Dimes, more than seven out of ten women who try VBAC are successful in having their baby vaginally. Your healthcare provider can talk through the risks and benefits associated with having a VBAC.

                      Your chances of having a successful VBAC are better if:

                      • You have had a vaginal birth before
                      • You have had just one C-section in the past with a low transverse incision
                      • You and your baby are in good health during pregnancy

                      Benefits of having a VBAC can include:

                      • There is no need for surgery
                      • Your recovery time is shorter than after having a C-section
                      • There is less blood loss
                      • Your risk is lower for infection and other complications, such as problems with the placenta call placenta previa or placenta acreta

                      Bluffton Regional Medical Center is happy to provide additional information on their VBAC services including several prior success stories.
