VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean)
VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean)
We believe in empowering women to make informed choices about their birthing experiences. For mothers who have previously undergone a caesarean section (C-section) and wish to have a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC), we provide comprehensive care, guidance, and medical expertise to ensure a safe and fulfilling birthing journey.
Why Choose Vaginal Birth or VBAC?
A vaginal birth offers multiple health benefits for both mother and baby, ensuring a quicker recovery and a lower risk of complications compared to a repeat C-section. At Rawal Natural Birthing Centre, we prioritize evidence-based maternity care, supporting first-time mothers, mothers with previous vaginal births, and mothers planning a VBAC.
How Rawal Natural Birthing Centre Supports VBAC
1. Evidence-Based Maternity Care
- We follow internationally recognized guidelines for labor progression, interventions, and VBAC safety.
- Our team ensures medical interventions are used only when necessary, allowing the natural birthing process to unfold smoothly.
2. VBAC Eligibility Assessment
- Each woman’s previous C-section history is carefully evaluated to determine suitability for VBAC.
- We assess factors such as type of uterine incision, previous labor experience, overall maternal health, and pregnancy conditions.
3. Continuous Monitoring & Emergency Preparedness
- Continuous fetal monitoring ensures the baby’s well-being without unnecessary interventions.
- If a medical emergency arises, our on-site surgical team is prepared for a safe, family-friendly C-section if needed.
Preparing for a Successful VBAC
To maximize VBAC success, we recommend:
✔ Prenatal Education: Attend childbirth classes to learn about labor, pain relief, and vaginal birth techniques.
✔ Regular Exercise: Engage in light physical activities such as walking, prenatal yoga, swimming, and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the body for labor.
✔ Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in proteins, iron, and essential vitamins ensures optimal maternal and fetal health.
✔ Mental Preparation: Practice positive affirmations, guided meditation, and visualization techniques to build confidence and reduce fear.
✔ Birth Plan Discussion: Work with our team to develop a personalized VBAC birth plan, addressing concerns, preferences, and emergency protocols if needed.
