VBAC

Vaginal birth after a previous caesarean, carefully assessed as part of high-risk pregnancy management.

VBAC

Overview

A Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) can be a safe option for many women who have had a prior caesarean section, depending on individual clinical factors.

Eligibility is assessed case-by-case, considering the reason for your earlier caesarean, the type of uterine incision, how your current pregnancy is progressing, and hospital readiness for emergency response if needed.

Because VBAC carries specific considerations, labor is monitored as part of a broader high-risk pregnancy management plan, with a clear back-up plan agreed in advance.

FAQs About VBAC

Not automatically — eligibility depends on your specific surgical history and how this pregnancy is progressing, assessed individually.

For appropriately selected candidates delivering in a hospital with surgical backup, VBAC is a recognised, safe option — this is discussed in detail during your antenatal visits.
