VBACs are possible but not without risks. Success rates for vbac depend on many factors, including why you had the last c-section, the type of uterine incision you had, size of your baby, size of your pelvic, you are beyond your due date, you have had multiple c-sections, you are in a hospital that can't perform emergency c-sec. Benefits of VBAC - Safer than C-sec (not a major surgery) - Lower risks of blood transfusions - Lower risk of infection - Shorter hospital stay - More energy after childbirth - Faster recovery period - Dads get to play a bigger role Risks of VBAC - Failure to deliver vaginally. C Sec after failed VBAC may increase risk of complicatins - Tearing of scar from previous c-sec. (Uterine rupture)
