from MamaDoc BabyDoc · host Renda K. Knapp, MD & Rachel Schultz, DO
VBAC can be an empowering and safe option for many women—but it isn't the right choice for everyone. In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we break down what VBAC really means, who is a good candidate, and when a repeat C-section may be the safer option. We talk candidly about the benefits and risks of VBAC, including uterine rupture, success rates, and how factors like the type of prior C-section, spacing between pregnancies, and labor history matter. We also discuss how to advocate for yourself, what questions to ask your provider, and how hospital policies can impact your options. Whether you're considering a VBAC, planning a repeat cesarean, or just want clear, evidence-based information without fear or pressure, this episode is here to help you make the decision that's right for you and your baby. Because informed choices make confident parents.
