Is VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) right for you?

Introduction

If you have had a cesarean delivery previously and are wondering if vaginal birth could be an option for your pregnancy, the answer to this question might be YES! At KD Blossom, Ahmedabad, our team of skilled gynaecologists provides expert guidance to help you determine if a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) is the right choice for you.

What is VBAC?

VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) is the process of delivering a baby vaginally after a previous cesarean section. For many women, it offers the opportunity to avoid surgery and experience a natural birth. However, it is essential to determine whether it is a safe and suitable option based on individual health factors.

At KD Blossom, one of Ahmedabad’s leading healthcare centers for women, our experienced gynaecologists and obstetricians carefully evaluate your medical history and current pregnancy. Focusing on every vital detail, we ensure the safest approach and utilise the latest medical technology for optimal care.

Who can consider VBAC?

VBAC isn’t suitable for everyone, but it can be an option for most women who have had a low-transverse cesarean section in a prior delivery. To determine if VBAC is a safe choice, our top gynaecologists in Ahmedabad evaluate the following factors:

• The type of incision used in your previous delivery
• The reasons that led to your cesarean section
• Your current pregnancy status
• Whether there are any additional risks like uterine scarring

At KD Blossom, we evaluate these factors thoroughly, ensuring each patient receives the safest and most appropriate care, customized based on their health.

Why VBAC?

There are several reasons why women opt for a VBAC:

• Faster recovery: Vaginal births generally involve shorter hospital stays and quicker returns to normal activities.
• Avoiding surgical risks: Since VBAC does not require surgery, it eliminates the risks associated with cesarean sections, such as infections or heavy blood loss.
• Future pregnancies: Women planning to have more children may prefer VBAC as it lowers the risks associated with multiple C-sections.

Our hospital is one of the top women’s hospitals in Ahmedabad, offering state-of-the-art technology and a highly trained team of gynaecologists, obstetricians, and staff to support you throughout the VBAC process and ensure your health and safety at every stage.

Risks:

Vaginal birth is generally a safe mode of delivery, but when it comes to VBAC, there are some risks to consider. The most serious concern is uterine rupture, where the cesarean section scar reopens during labor.

Although uncommon, this risk is significant, underscoring the importance of selecting a medical center with advanced technology to ensure the highest level of safety and care. At KD Blossom, our expert team is fully prepared to handle any situation and emergency care when needed.
