VBAC - Guidelines and standard practices (time between pregnancies)

Brissett

I would like to know if there are recommended guidelines or standards pertaining to the amount of time required or preferred between csection and VBAC. Thanks!

It depends on your provider but all I have talked to and it seems most other OBs as well follow the rule of 18-24 months from birth to birth.

All OBs I have talked to and it seems most others have talked to all agree on 18-24 months from birth to birth. It can, however, depend on your provider so I would discuss with your OB.

My CNM told me 18 months between births period.  She practices in a hospital with a VBAC ban so that was her recommendation for a RCS.  My OB recommends one year from delivery to conception no matter what type of birth you had to allow the hormones time to stabilize.
