What is Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) Care?
Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) refers to the option of giving birth vaginally after a previous caesarean delivery. For many individuals, VBAC offers the opportunity to experience a natural childbirth and avoid the risks associated with repeat caesarean sections. VBAC care involves specialized support and monitoring to assess the feasibility and safety of vaginal delivery while minimizing the potential for complications.
Our Approach to VBAC Care
- Individualized Consultations: Dr Lauren offers personalized consultations to discuss your medical history and previous caesarean delivery. During these consultations, Lauren provides information on the benefits, risks, and potential challenges of VBAC, as well as answer any questions or concerns you may have.
- Risk Assessment: Dr Lauren conducts a thorough evaluation to assess your safety for VBAC based on factors such as the reason for your previous caesarean delivery, the type of uterine incision, and your overall health and pregnancy status. This assessment helps us determine the likelihood of a successful VBAC and identify any potential risks or complications that may arise.
- Birth Plan Development: If you choose to try for a VBAC, we work collaboratively to develop a personalized birth plan that aligns with your preferences and goals for childbirth. Whether you desire a natural birth or have specific preferences regarding pain management and interventions, our team respects your choices and supports your decision-making process.
- Continuous Monitoring and Support: Throughout labour and delivery, Dr Lauren and a team of midwives provide continuous monitoring, support, and encouragement to help you progress safely towards a successful vaginal birth. We closely monitor fetal well-being, progress of labour, and signs of uterine rupture or other complications, intervening if necessary to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.
- Informed Decision-Making: We believe in empowering you with knowledge and information to make informed decisions about your childbirth experience. Our team educates you on the benefits and risks of VBAC, as well as alternative options, so that you can feel confident and empowered in your choices.
