At one time, it was believed that once you had a C-section, all of your future children had to be delivered that way. Providers were concerned that your uterus might have been weakened by the first operation. Today, most women are encouraged to try for a vaginal birth after previously having a C-section. This procedure is called a V-BAC. Your provider will review the records of your previous labors in order to determine if a V-BAC is recommended for you. 60 — 85% of women succeed in having a vaginal birth after cesarean. Your provider will be happy to give you more information about this option and about the potential risks of V-BAC.
