Course Description
Current counseling on labor after cesarean (LAC) focuses heavily on the risks of uterine rupture to the neonate while often downplaying the risks of repeat cesarean to the mother. Interest in vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is growing, but pregnant people who want LAC still face significant barriers in the United States. This interactive webinar uses challenging case studies to review the risks and benefits of both LAC and ERCD using the most current evidence available, with the goal of equipping midwives to better advocate for patients who desire LAC.
