What is a vback nurse/midwife?

I saw my midwife about 3 weeks ago and she said because of previous large baby and c section that she’s referred me to see I think she said a vback nurse I could be wrong but something like that I got a letter through last week with an appointment I just wondered if anyone knows what this is and what happens💙

Yep! VBAC stands for Vaginal Birth After Caesarean. So she’s referred you to someone who will talk through your options with you and the pros and cons of having a vaginal birth vs a ERCS (Elective Repeat C-Section). Tommys is always so helpful with info, check out their stuff on it: https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/giving-birth/after-caesarean-section

Yeah as Rachel said above ☺️. Also in the same position after my first was a large baby. I've got an appointment with a consultant to discuss and my community midwife said it'll be like a risk assessment to show you the risks/benefits of both options. She did also say that it's a two way conversation so they'll be keen to hear your thoughts and any concerns you might have about birthing options xx
