Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) is still an option<\/h1><\/div>

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal titled\u00a0\u201cA Type of Childbirth Some Women Will Fight For\u201d<\/a>\u00a0discusses the current situation with delivery by VBAC. \u00a0In some states around the country, women are literally fighting for the opportunity to attempt a VBAC. \u00a0Luckily here in South Florida, Baptist Hospital has the resources\u00a0available to make this a safe option for our patients.<\/header>\n

We see many women in our practice who had a cesarean section with their first baby and would like to attempt a vaginal birth with their next child. \u00a0Many of those women are told by other physicians that a VBAC is too dangerous and that a repeat cesarean section is a much easier and safer option. \u00a0Unfortunately, while a repeat cesarean section is definitely quicker and avoids some risks, other\u00a0complications\u00a0can arise such as placenta previa or accreta, which can lead to hemorrhage or the need for a hysterectomy. \u00a0Additionally, with each cesarean section, more scar tissue forms, which can increase the risk of injury to other organs such as the intestines or bladder.<\/p>\n

The decision to pursue a VBAC is one that only the woman herself can make. \u00a0We are happy to support these women and give them that opportunity. \u00a0Please see our\u00a0VBAC information page<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>
