How do you calculate VBAC rates?

A VBAC rate is the number of women in a given hospital or area that give birth by VBAC. You can't really calculate it but you can look up what a particular hospital's rate is sometimes on their website. VBAC rates for the USA can be found on the CDC's website.

Where is a vbac friendly doctor and hospital near Brunswick Georgia if travel is not a problem?

There is a wonderful doctor in Atlanta that will do any kind of vbac almost named Dr. Tate. If you get in touch with your local ICAN chapter they can likely assist you in finding a VBAC friendly doctor or midwife.


What does the medical abbreviation VBAC mean?

Vaginal Birth After Caeserean


Can you give birth after having cesarean with your first baby?

Yes, you can have a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). If you have a supportive care provider your chances of having a successful VBAC are 2 in 3, the same as a first time mother's chances of having a vaginal birth. For more information about the risks of VBAC and risks of repeat cesarean check out ican-online.org.


Can a woman have a vaginal birth after 3 cesections?

Yes this is possible, though it can often be very difficult. Before making the decision, you should probably do some research on VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and determine if this is something that you want to do. Birth doulas are also good support during a VBAC.


Is it harder going ahead and doing VBAC?

It depends what you mean by hard. It might be hard to find a care provider that is truly supportive of VBAC, yes. But the recovery period from a VBAC is much easier for most women. Also the risks to your own body and to your baby are less from a VBAC. We are only beginning to understand the true risks to a child from being born surgically, you can google but some of those risks include lifelong increased risks of allergies, intestinal issues, even testicular cancer! I know, crazy right? Sometimes the things that maybe seem hard to do, are really worth it. It's hard to eat right and take care of yourself too, but we should all do that as well. Good luck and make sure you do your research!


Can you deliver after 3 c sections?

The answer is yes but most midwives/doctors will advise against it in case your c-section scar ruptures. If you want a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) then your doctors will advise you of the possible dangers. I think the risk of rupturing a scar is minimal but most don't like to take the chance. I have known women who have gone on to have VBAC.


If you had a c section for a breech baby 5 yrs ago and ruptured tubular pregnancy 6 mos ago with history of endometriosis should you have vbac?

You may be allowed for vbac bcoz breech is not a absolute indication for section & also risk of progression of endometriosis is more with the section. But ultimately treatment plan should be judged based on the conditions prevailing at that time.


Whats the chances of your uterus rupturing if you give vaginal birth after a c section?

60-80% of women who try VBAC have a successful vaginal delivery.


Can you use the IUD if you had a c-section?

Yes, there are times when it is possible to have a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). Women who have a low transverse scar from the previous C-section are eligible for VBAC. It can also depend on why the first c-section happened. If the mothers pelvis is small it may not be possible for VBAC, if the first baby didnt fit the second may not either. If the scar on the uterus is an up and down scar or vertical, a VBAC is not recommended due to the potential for uterine rupture. As the uterus grows during the pregnancy the body of the uterus gets thinner and may rupture with uterine contractions. This is not typically an issue with the low transverse uterine scar as that scar is thru a thicker portion of the uterus that does not thin out as much as the uterus grows during pregnancy.


Can you have vbac 2 years later is it safe?

It can be done but you really need to talk with your doctor first and weight the postives and negatives of doing so and make an imformed choice.
