For VBAC, the infection is usually chorioamnionitis (infection in the bag of water) that, if detected, requires maternal antibiotics in labor and then antibiotics for the baby post birth.
This happens approximately 1% of the time when women attempt VBAC. Uterine rupture is when the incision in the inside, on your uterus, opens during labor.I am going to use VBAC since that seems to be the more common term amongst my patients.
Many times these are used interchangeably, but I wanted you to know what they stand for in case you see these terms on other websites. TOLAC stands for trial of labor after cesarean. VBAC stands for vaginal birth after cesarean. Let’s start by clarifying some terminology. There is an excellent, concise article on VBAC on our website already that can be viewed here. I think it is important for all to know that we take VBAC seriously and want our patients to be educated on the risk and benefits of this. In fact, we have many women who chose to come to us, or transfer their care to us mid pregnancy, because of our willingness to support a woman’s decision for VBAC and our success rates of vaginal birth.
VBAC is an often desired delivery for patients who are seen at Kamm McKenzie.
