VBAC Counselling (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) by Dr. Shifa Anwar Panwala VBAC counselling helps women who have had a previous cesarean section understand the possibility of a safe vaginal birth in a future pregnancy. Dr. Shifa Anwar Panwala provides detailed, evidence-based guidance to help you make an informed and confident decision based on your individual circumstances. Not all women are candidates for VBAC, so the process begins with a thorough review of your previous delivery records, type of uterine incision, current pregnancy health, and any risk factors. Dr. Shifa explains the benefits (such as quicker recovery, lower surgical risks, and a more natural birth experience) as well as the risks (including the rare possibility of uterine rupture), ensuring complete transparency. You will also be guided on what to expect during pregnancy and labor planning if VBAC is considered suitable. Continuous monitoring and the availability of emergency care are key aspects of ensuring safety. If VBAC is not recommended, alternative delivery options are discussed with equal care and clarity—always prioritizing the health of both mother and baby. At Her Space, your preferences, safety, and confidence are at the center of care. Dr. Shifa ensures a supportive, respectful, and well-informed approach—helping you plan your delivery journey with clarity and peace of mind.
