If you’ve had a cesarean section in the past, you may wonder if it’s possible to have a vaginal birth in subsequent pregnancies. The good news is that many women who have had a C-section can safely have a vaginal birth after cesarean, or VBAC.

Laboring moms at Nebraska Medical Center can opt for hydrotherapy and even a water delivery if conditions are right. The midwives began doing water births in May 2023.

My pregnancy was routine and healthy. I loved checking in with the five midwives and getting their unique perspectives. They always took the time to answer my questions during visits. They made me feel safe and confident throughout my entire pregnancy.

With years of hydrotherapy experience and evidence-based information about the benefits and risks of water birth, Nebraska Medicine nurse midwives can help you decide if it is right for you. If so, they can support you in incorporating that into your birth plan.
