FAQ about VBAC
If you already had a C-section, you can give birth vaginally if your doctor says it's safe to do so. Talk with your doctor about what's right for you.
This decision depends on a few factors, including:
- The type of cut from your previous cesarean
- The number of previous cesareans
- The resources available at the hospital where you plan to give birth
- Any medical problems that could make a vaginal delivery difficult for you
