If you\\u2019re considering VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), this episode is a must listen! Most individuals with one (or two!) prior low transverse cesareans can consider VBAC. But you MUST bring it up early with your healthcare provider to be sure they will support your wishes, because not all doctors support it and some are not forthcoming about that. With VBAC, you avoid major surgery and the recovery time can be quicker but it\\u2019s not the appropriate option for everyone and there are risks. You can weigh the risks and benefits and decide if it\\u2019s the right choice for you. And if you decide to try for a VBAC, this episode will set you up for success!

In this Episode, You\\u2019ll Learn About:

• What a vaginal birth after cesarean entails
• Who is and is not a candidate
• What\\u2019s the most important thing to do if you\\u2019re interested in trying for a vaginal birth
• What the risks and benefits are
• Which factors are associated with a successful trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC)
• Which scenarios make doctors uncomfortable with the procedure and what the evidence-based recommendations are for management
• What a low-intervention TOLAC looks like
