Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC)

While c-sections have become a norm for many mothers, several of them still prefer to undergo a normal delivery. In many cases, after a c-section for their first delivery they may opt for a natural birthing for the subsequent ones – this is known as vaginal birth after c-section or VBAC. At Ankura Hospital, provided there are no additional risk factors to the mother or the baby, we encourage mothers-to-be to explore and undergo VBAC, should they so desire to.
The key to a successful VBAC is a continuous conversation with your gynaecologist and regular electronic foetal monitoring. Having an open mind is essential and allowing the gynaecologist to take the most informed decision is critical.
