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.
