Having had a prior Caesarean birth does not automatically mean a mother needs to have the same for future births. Many mothers successfully have a vaginal birth after a Caesarean delivery, or VBAC. Healthcare providers typically call this TOLAC, or "trial of labor after Caesarean." True medical indications for a Caesarean include placenta previa, placenta accreta, placental abruption, cord prolapse, cephalopelvic disproportion, active genital herpes infection, HIV positive status, and severe pregnancy induced hypertension. If a mother has a history of chronic disease (heart, kidney, etc.), a Caesarean may be suggested. Caesareans are also typically performed if a baby is in a transverse lie or breech presentation.
