What is a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC)?
Women who have given birth to a child by cesarean delivery ought to be encouraged to give birth to the next child vaginally. More than half of the women who attempt vaginal birth after one previous cesarean delivery (VBAC) have successful vaginal births. VBACs are now being encouraged by doctors because, compared to a cesarean section, labor and vaginal delivery are generally safer for women and as safe for the baby.
