Popular methods of child delivery: VBAC
This method is short for vaginal birth after caesarean. It is used if you wish to have a vaginal delivery after you’ve had a C-section during your last delivery. Even though very few women opt for it, the success rate is not less for this method.
VBAC is only recommended in specialized cases because the incision caused by a C-section delivery can come in the way of this one.
Risks of VBAC
The benefits of this method are quicker recovery time as well as reduced expense, and a positive impact on future deliveries if you’re planning on having more children. A VBAC can prevent you from infections, injury to other organs, and also save you from a lot of blood clots.
VBAC, however, is not an option if you’ve had two or more C-sections before, are above the average maternal age, are obese, and if your pregnancy has surpassed the 40-week bracket.
Popular methods of child delivery: Natural delivery
A method from ancient times, it is rarely used now. This is especially because the pain threshold required for natural delivery is greater than vaginal birth and C-section. This form of delivery is also known as medication-free childbirth. However, sometimes women do opt for an epidural if the pain intensifies. Natural delivery means not using a routine IV, pain relievers, forceps, or vacuum extractors for childbirth.
Women opt for this process for various reasons like the bond they will share with their child, having more control over their delivery, and not using medication to deflect pain. This way women wish to experience childbirth in the manner nature meant it to be.
