Expecting a baby is an experience of its own kind. A woman has to undergo many emotional, physical, psychological and medical ups and downs to enjoy the beautiful side of motherhood. Every mother-to-be takes extensive care of herself just to keep her baby healthy and safe.
Although there’s a constant battle in every mom’s mind when it comes to choosing the method of delivery, cesarean has become one of the most common method of giving birth these days. Did you know that you can have a normal delivery even after having your first child through a caesarean? It is through a process called VBAC- Vaginal Birth After C-Section.
What is VBAC?
If a woman has delivered via C-section for the first time, she can still have a vaginal delivery the second time. Although cesarean delivery is done due to some complication arising during pregnancy, most of these complications are rectified once the baby is born. Hence, if you do not have any complications during your second delivery and your doctor agrees then you can opt for vaginal delivery even after cesarean.
When can you opt for VBAC?
A common myth prevails that if your first delivery was C-Section then your next delivery will also be the same. However, this is not true. There might be several medical reason you deliver via C-section like:
- the baby is in a breech position
- Placenta covering the cervix
- Baby’s pulse rate going down
- The baby is oversized
- Mother’s health not supporting
- Umbilical cord stuck around the neck area.
- Women who have low on placenta in her first delivery
A lot of these reasons are non related to the second pregnancy and hence you can easily have a normal delivery.
How to go about a VBAC?
If you are going to take this step you need the help of an expert gynecologist and the best medical service. Your Hospital plays an important role to meet your urgent medical needs. Thus, while choosing a hospital, 24×7 care, expert doctors and best of facilities are what you should be on the lookout for. Not all the Hospitals allow or hold much expertise in VBAC.

such interesting info! I have a friend who did this with great success!
Great post! Very informative.
Great post! Very informative for moms that desire to have a VBAC. C-sections are really invasive and I commend moms for opting out of them if they can. In the end, as long as mom and baby are healthy, that’s all that matters.
Sounds like a wonderful facility!
This is fantastic information. I had a c-section with my first baby because of preeclampsia. I’d love to try for a vaginal birth the second time around! Thanks for the great info.
I love this post! I think so highly of women who try for VBACs–it’s truly so admirable and really can be done in healthy circumstances!
I love that more women are being encouraged and supported to do a VBAC instead of just going through surgery every single time. So much great information for women here.
Thanks for the advice for anyone who needs it.
Great info! I had both of my boys c sections. Both of my pregnancies were complicated and had no choice but to go that route. Thanks for sharing. Xoxo
I had a VBAC because I had placenta previa with my first. It was so great to have a completely different experience!
Very informative post. Did not know that it is safe to have normal delivery after having c section
Helpful and imformative post for womens who want to know about pregnancy facts
This is very helpful for all the ladies!
Informative post I have a friend who went through very recently.. I will share this post with her
Very insightful post and very helpful guidance for some one who are planning for second baby. Good Share.
Its really essential to consult experts and advisors in these cases
Much needed as in India 60% people just do C-sec without even thinking. Our body needs to go through natural process.
Thanks for sharing.
That’s a very informative post. Must know for second timers
Wow! I too had the myth about C section! This is really a great post! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for such informative information.
Very informative post. Many mom won’t aware of such facts. This post will help them out.
Well explained… Thanx for sharing such useful post.
Ya , in fact even I for to know recently during a visit to child birth hospital that one can opt for vaginal delivery even after getting csec for 1st time with certain things to keep in mind.
This is such an informative post and Being a mom of two …loved this post
There is a lot of myth about this.. Thanks for your post it is radical to address changing the perception and myths about the same
This is a very important article for moms to be. This is also a very educational article!
Very insightful post and very informative post for women who wish to have a VBAC.
I was not aware of this buddy and ignorantly presumed that first Csection means the same will be needed second time too.
That’s such a great thing that Rainbow Hospital is aiming at… Normal deliveries to ladies who had undergone c sec. That’s like a ray of light shown to them coz they are always been told that once a c sec they can never go for a normal one.. Very helpful blog
Omg even i was thinking that if the forst child is delivered via C-section the next child should be delivered in the same way. Thanks. And I have heard good things about rainbow hospital
That’s a great thing to learn about. I’ve seen moms wishing for a normal delivery because of so much pain they have during a previous C-section. Your article will be a ray of hope for so many of them.
This is such an informative article because more often than not most of the doctors now days are always opting for c-section and especially when the first kid has been the same way
This is a true taboo in our society if I can use this word! I have heard many people especially females adamant of this as FACT. According to them post C-Sect one cannot go ahead for normal delivery. I absolutely ABHOR the word Never here, as it totally depends on child gap, body, ability, and many other factors. Good doctors and expert professional care can get things normal.
Oh I wasn’t aware of this at all!! So insightful!! One of my friends is considering this, will share your post with her
So true, I never knew that Vaginal birth can be done after C-sec, until I met with Rainbow hospital doctor’s. A very important piece of information as we surrender to what our gynaec says and most of the time it is a C-sec after C-sec.
Nice to see hospitals promote VBAC.. And having trusted experts helping us during pregnancy and delivery is really needed to give us some mental peace and leave the deciding to he experts
This is one of the things that we ourselves have been considering for quite some time. Howsoever painful normal delivery be but I guess in long run its best for the women’s body. Most of the pregnant ladies are not even aware that they do have options to go for normal delivery after an operation one. We really need to spread awareness about VBAC as a good option after Cesarean.
I’m happy that more n more hospitals are coming up and encouraging women to try and prepare for VBAC. Great post that busts myths around vbac
IT IS A VERY INFORMATIVE POST FOR ALL LADIES HERE. Rainbow Hospital achieve the normal deliveries its sound too good
