Normal Delivery After C-Section: Your Complete VBAC Guide
Wondering if a normal delivery after a C-section is possible for you? The answer is often yes. This is called VBAC — Vaginal Birth After Cesarean, and it lets many women deliver vaginally in a pregnancy following a previous C-section. Doctors refer to the attempt itself as a TOLAC — Trial of Labour After Cesarean; if it succeeds, it becomes a VBAC, and if not, a C-section is performed safely. VBAC comes with real benefits — faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and better outcomes for baby — but it also carries risks that need honest discussion with your doctor.
