Vaginal Birth After C-Section (VBAC)

Definition

Vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC) refers to the process of delivering a baby vaginally after having previously undergone a cesarean section (C-section). It is an option for some women who wish to attempt a natural birth following a prior C-section, depending on factors such as the type of uterine incision made during the previous surgery and the overall health of the mother and baby.
