Planning a vaginal delivery after cesarean (VBAC)?

Your best chance at having a successful VBAC starts with selecting a care provider that truly supports and believes in birth. These are our top choices:

Hospital-Based:
*Out of Hospital Birthing Centers in our state are not allowed to offer VBAC care, so the options are to deliver at home with a Licensed Midwife or inside a hospital with a Certified Nurse Midwife or OB/GYN!
