FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Class Explores Birth After Cesarean Options in Fullerton & Claremont
POMONA, CA (September 2, 2009) – VBACFACTS.com announced “The Truth About VBAC,” a class on vaginal birth after cesarean, will be offered in Fullerton on Sunday, September 20 and in Claremont on Saturday, October 24. Incorporating the latest medical research, the class provides clear and concise information as well as specific, practical tools for women considering or planning a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
With half of American hospitals actively enforcing VBAC bans and increasing numbers of obstetricians preferring repeat cesareans, many women wonder if their only choice is another surgical delivery. A 2005 survey revealed that while 57% of American women desire a VBAC, less than 10% succeed.
“If you are a candidate for VBAC and have the knowledge, tools, and support, the likelihood that you will successfully VBAC is high, at least 75%,” states Jen Kamel, founder of VBACFACTS.com. “Hire an OB or midwife that is truly supportive, because they will set the tone of your birth. Aim for an unmedicated birth because drugs can impact the mother’s mental clarity and increase the risk of complications resulting in an otherwise avoidable repeat cesarean. Select a birth location that will be encouraging rather than be a source of fear and doubt. Find women who have birthed vaginally after a cesarean or are planning a VBAC and use them as your cheerleaders and sounding board. “
“The Truth About VBAC” provides women with a extensive analysis of their options. Topics include:
- Repeat Cesarean vs. VBAC Realities
- Risks of Hospital vs. Out-of-Hospital Birth
- How to Find a VBAC Supportive OB or Midwife
- Hospital VBAC Strategies
- Factors of Uterine Rupture
- The Marketing of “Risk”
- Maternal & Infant Outcomes
- Elements of VBAC Success
- Benefits of Spontaneous Vaginal Birth
- VBAC Ban Rationale & Rebuttal
- History of VBAC – From Encouraged to “Unsafe”
