Like any delivery process, VBACs and C-sections have their risks as well as their benefits. Mothers tend to opt for VBACs if they plan to have more children. Multiple cesarean sections can cause placental issues in future pregnancies, which can cause excessive bleeding or cause a child to be born prematurely. Additionally, mothers who have previously had a C-section are more likely to experience uterine rupture, and with every C-section they have, their risk for uterine rupture increases.
