What are my options for vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC)?
Midwives support women who want a trial of labour for a normal vaginal birth after a previous lower segment c-section. Research shows that for many women it is a safe choice with lots of benefits and a high success rate. If a trial of labour is not successful, a repeat c-section would be performed by the obstetrician on-call at the hospital, and your midwife would accompany you in the operating room. Discuss your personal circumstances with your midwife to see if your medical history and your motivation make VBAC a good choice for you.
