• VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) is supported as a option for appropriate candidates. We want women to know their options. For example, some physicians shy away from allowing women to attempt a vaginal birth after having a cesarean. The providers at Baptist Health Women’s Care follow the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and we believe it is a safe and appropriate choice for most women. We work with mothers to create a birth plan and communicate the risks up front, but understand that for some women having a vaginal birth is very important to them. We are proud to have a very high rate of success with VBACs.
