VBAC Preparation Singapore (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)

If you’ve already had a cesarean birth (also called c-section), you may be able to have your next baby vaginally. This is called vaginal birth after cesarean (also called VBAC). You may be able to have a VBAC if your pregnancy is healthy and the incision (cut) in your last c-section was low transverse.

If you had a previous cesarean, family planning is essential for a better health in you and your baby.

1. Plan your pregnancy. A pregnancy gap of at least 18 months and above is ideal if you wish to attempt VBAC
2. Release fear of repeated cesarean, self-doubt, mental preparation, and exercises to improve flexibility in the hips.
