Repeat C-section: The basics
By Mayo Clinic staffLike VBAC, a repeat C-section has its own distinct benefits. Among them:
- You can choose a convenient time to have the C-section. This can be helpful when arranging child care for your other children or planning your maternity leave.
- A C-section usually takes considerably less time than labor and vaginal delivery. Plus, you don't experience labor pain.
- In some cases, a repeat C-section may be safer for you and your baby than a VBAC.
