High-Risk Pregnancy
A pregnancy is considered high-risk if there is an increased chance that the baby or mother has a health condition. A high-risk pregnancy does not mean a complicated pregnancy or delivery, but rather the expecting mother receives more frequent attention. You may be considered high-risk if you have or have had certain medical conditions. Notably, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, or previous complicated pregnancies.
Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC)
Many women who have had a previous cesarean (C-section) delivery are able to have a successful VBAC without any complications. The Gabrielson Clinic for Women does offer VBAC delivery. Discuss your wishes for a VBAC with your Gabrielson Clinic provider and include them in your birth plan. It is important to understand the risks and benefits of delivery options before making a final birthing decision.
