A C-section involves your pregnancy care provider making a surgical cut (incision) through your belly and uterus to deliver your baby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">The goal of a VBAC is to give a person who had a C-section the chance to have a vaginal delivery for their next pregnancy. It can sometimes be unsafe to have a vaginal delivery after having one or more C-section deliveries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>The decision on whether to attempt a VBAC involves considering factors like:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"my-rem16px mx-0 pl-[1.25rem] list-disc marker:text-brandBlue-500 marker:pl-rem24px \" data-identity=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"mb-rem12px pl-rem12px text-gray-800 text-rem19px leading-rem34px \">The type of incision your surgeon used for your C-section(s) and if you have had more than one C-section.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mb-rem12px pl-rem12px text-gray-800 text-rem19px leading-rem34px \">Your health history.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mb-rem12px pl-rem12px text-gray-800 text-rem19px leading-rem34px \">If you have any medical conditions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mb-rem12px pl-rem12px text-gray-800 text-rem19px leading-rem34px \">The position of the fetus and if the fetus has any known medical conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Your pregnancy care provider will tell you if they believe a VBAC is safe to try. They can discuss potential risks and benefits with you. Then, you can choose if you\u2019d like to pursue a VBAC or have another C-section based on your discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Studies show that up to 75% of people who had one C-section went on to have a successful vaginal birth in their next pregnancy. But your chance of having a successful VBAC drops to about 50% if you\u2019ve had two or more prior C-section deliveries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Healthcare providers sometimes refer to a VBAC as a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC). A TOLAC is an attempt to have a VBAC. If a TOLAC is successful, the result is a VBAC. If it\u2019s not successful, the result is another C-section delivery.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-gray-900 font-bold leading-rem24px text-rem20px bp600:text-rem25px bp600:leading-rem30px mt-rem32px mb-rem16px break-words \" data-identity=\"headline\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Why do people prefer a VBAC instead of another C-section?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">It\u2019s mostly a personal preference. Some people prefer a vaginal delivery, but for some reason, they haven\u2019t been able to have one. Or a person might prefer a vaginal delivery because recovering from a C-section typically takes longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-800 my-rem16px text-rem19px leading-rem34px \" data-identity=\"paragraph-element\">Even if you want a vaginal delivery, your healthcare provider may recommend another C-section due to the risks of a VBAC.
