VBAC or Elective C-Section: Doctor Explains The Risks

Should you have a repeat c-section or VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)? As an ObGyn physician I find myself discussing VBAC versus repeat elective cesarean with patients all the time. What are the risks and benefits? Is uterine rupture common? After delivering a baby by a C-section, pregnant patients may want to try for a TOLAC (trial of labor after cesearean) with hopes to delivery by VBAC (vaginal birth after C-section). In this video, I explain the risks and benefits of having a VBAC, what makes a person more likely to have a successful VBAC, and answering some common questions!
