VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has called for a loosening of restrictions around vaginal birth after C-Section (VBACs), urging hospitals to consider them more thoughtfully than they did in the past.  ACOG reports that about 60% to 80% of women who are appropriate candidates for a VBAC will be successful having a vaginal delivery.  We at Lee Obstetrics and Gynecology are happy to perform VBACs in certain circumstances.  The greatest risk of VBAC is from a uterine rupture (life threatening), which occurs in 0.5% to 0.9% of cases.  The decision to pursue a VBAC should be discussed with your doctor early in pregnancy.  There are risks to VBAC just as there are risks to repeat C-Section.  Risks of surgical complication can increase with each subsequent C-section.  VBACs are certainly becoming more common, but need to be undertaken with care and cooperation of both the patient and physician.
