What is a VBAC?
Are you considering a vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC)? Many women aim for a natural delivery but sometimes face complications that necessitate an emergency or scheduled C-section. This surgical procedure involves cutting the lower abdomen and making a second incision in the uterus to deliver the baby safely. Undergoing a cesarean can be physically taxing and emotionally challenging, especially for moms who had hoped for a vaginal birth. If you're pregnant and have had a C-section but want to explore the possibility of a VBAC, reach out to Dr. Williams and the team at Wonderfully Made Women's Health Care in Huntington Woods, MI and serving patients from all of Greater Detroit.
How Does a VBAC Work?
The VBAC procedure largely mirrors the steps for a standard vaginal birth. When you start to labor, you'll proceed according to your individualized birth plan and check into the hospital. At your initial consultation with Dr. Williams at Wonderfully Made Women's Health Care, we'll thoroughly review any associated risks to ensure you're well-informed. To maximize safety for you and your baby, our healthcare team will consistently monitor your baby's heart rate during labor. Rest assured, we're also equipped to carry out an emergency C-section if the situation calls for it.
What are the Benefits of a VBAC?
If you've previously had a C-section but are interested in a more natural birthing experience this time, consider a VBAC with Dr. Williams at Wonderfully Made Women's Health Care. The advantages of choosing this birth method include:
- Quicker healing compared to a C-section
- Avoiding surgical intervention
- Reduced risk of scarring, infection, and complications with the placenta
- Generally shorter postpartum recovery period
- The ability to proceed with a personalized birth plan
- Lower risk of blood loss
- A preferred choice for women planning more pregnancies down the line
