Susan had an emergency Cesarean with her first child due to concern about the fetal heart rate. She is now pregnant with her second child and would like to try to have this baby vaginally. What kind of birth should Susan tell her care provider she is interested in?

VDUC
CBVB
VBAC

Respuesta :

VBAC is a vaginal birth after a cesarean, so it's the last one.

The correct answer is D. VBAC

Explanation:

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean or VBAC is a term is used to refer to women that have a c-section or cesarean (surgery to deliver a baby) in the past but are expected to have a vaginal delivery (natural method of delivery) in a subsequent pregnancy. This is recommended because vaginal birth has fewer complications; however, not all in cases, a woman can have a vaginal delivery after a cesarean due to higher risks.

Susan is interested in a VBAC because she had a Cesarean for her first child, but now with her second child she expects to have a vaginal delivery and therefore a VBAC describes her situation.
