what to do if i have vaginal birth after cesarean?

VBAC: Vaginal birth after C-section is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of uterine rupture during labor and delivery. It would be wise to labor in a medical facility if one plans to proceed with a VBAC delivery.

A 35-year-old member asked:
Just started birth control again. There is clearish fluid discharging from breasts. What could it be?

Probably nothing: Birth control pills are known to cause hormonal resets in a woman's body. Breast is hormone regulated organ, so that is no surprise you are reacting the way you are. Chances are with the next cycle you may not have any, although, i did have patients who were lactating all along. In that case, i'd check prolactin level and rule out other causes for lactation.

Why do you think the rate has increased on cesarean vs. vaginal birth in recent years?

Dr. James Fergusonanswered
Pediatrics 46 years experience
Variety of causes: We now have better ways of monitoring labor, leading to early detection of cord abnormalities (neck wraps or knots) that mean higher risk of brain damage if labor continues. We have a greater expectation of a perfect birth (no forceps marks, bruised babies, etc)We have >50% of the litigating attorneys in the world in the US who want something to do.
