#403 VBAC or Cesarean, An Honest Assessment of Risk & Benefit.

In this episode of the Birthing Instincts Podcast, Blyss and Dr. Stu explore the risks and benefits of cesarean sections (C-sections) and vaginal births after cesareans (VBACs). They discuss the pros and cons of home births versus hospital births. In a hospital setting, expectant parents benefit from a large, skilled medical team, while home births offer more control over the birthing experience and additional time for bonding with the baby.

It's crucial to consider the entire pregnancy when making this decision. When opting for a home birth, having assistance from a certified nurse-midwife or access to an obstetrician is essential, as home births carry their own risks. Planning ahead is vital in this scenario. Educating oneself is equally important to ensure the best choices are made for both the mother and the baby. Tune in to learn more!

In this episode

Risks and benefits of VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and C-sections;
The probabilities of some of those risks after previous C-sections;
Why people are choosing home births;
How to choose between home births and hospital births.
