When it comes to having a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) it is very important to research and get as much information as possible. A mother deciding between a c-section of VBAC should weigh all her options and know the risks for each. Women who have had 1 c-section and women who have had 2 c-sections and a history of vaginal delivery are candidates for a VBAC. C-sections are major surgery which requires the cutting of the abdominal muscles and the uterus for the delivery of the baby. Because it is a major surgery a c-section does have risks. The risks increases with each additional c-section a mother has. It would seem that having a vaginal birth would be the first option, but rupture of the uterus is potentially fatal risk to having a VBAC. ACOG has an online pamphlet that is accessible online that gives more information about VBACs Throughout the state of Florida and the Tampa Bay area there are several midwives that are VBAC providers. The Florida Friends of Midwives have provided a List of Midwives throughout the State that provides VBACs to expectant moms. Some also do provide VBA2C to moms.
