EP 47 \ The VBAC Dilemma: A Dive Into The Numbers And The Truth

Far too many women find themselves having to choose between having a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) or a repeat c-section when they have another baby after having the first cesarean section. Last episode we looked at the reasons that a c-section might be needed along with the reasons it is NOT needed. But if that is already in the past for you and you're now being faced with this big decision, this episode will help you make an informed decision by providing you with statistics and a truthful look at the risks of both VBACs and repeat c-sections.
