VBAC Unveiled: The Surprising Truth About Healing, Strength, and What No One Tells You After a C-Section
When is a VBAC not recommended?
While the above conditions can affect the likelihood of success trying to have a VBAC, there are a few circumstances that could’ve happened before this pregnancy that make it more difficult for you to try a VBAC.
VBAC would not be recommended if:
- You’ve had a prior classical C-section (i.e., an incision into the myometrium layer of the uterus responsible for contracting during labor)
- You’ve had more than two C-sections
- You’ve had a uterine rupture or dehiscence in the past
- You have certain health conditions or pregnancy complications, like certain types of heart disease or placenta previa
How to prepare for VBAC and what to ask your doctor
Start by scheduling a prenatal appointment and talk to your doctor. They’re your resource to help you prepare for trying to have a VBAC. During your prenatal visits, consider asking them for help with writing a birth plan and recommendations for VBAC childbirth classes.
