VBAC

How can you tell if your care provider is pro-VBAC?

It seems like a lot of care providers claim they support mothers in their choice to VBAC, but when it comes to the actual event they aren’t so keen on the idea. As with any other issues in birth, being educated is the best defense. Talk to your care provider and start asking questions.

What is your C-section percentage?
What is your VBAC percentage?
Have you ever seen an unmedicated birth?
Are mothers in your care allowed to go beyond 40 weeks? 41? 42?
May I talk to other VBAC clients of yours?

Pay attention to your care provider’s language and you will easily find out if they truly support VBAC!

Reasonable choices for bringing back VBAC

“If evidence supports VBAC as a “reasonable option” for most of this population - and indeed a better option for many - it is time to be reasonable about how to make VBAC as safe, accessible, and satisfying as it can possibly be.”
