Not all hospitals allow you to squat or be in comfortable birthing positions. When choosing your hospital, be sure to ask questions surrounding their policies on what birthing positions they will encourage or deny.

VBAC birth stands for Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. If your medical provider has told you that you will be unable to ever have a vaginal birth after having a C-section, do not be afraid to ask for a second opinion and consult another medical provider. VBACs are not right for everyone, and if your previous C-section wasn’t handled well or resulted in a high vertical uterine incision, prior uterine rupture, or you have had other types of uterine surgeries, you may not be a good candidate for a VBAC. Consult with your doctor, multiple doctors if needed, and take all medical factors into consideration.
