Panel urges more choice in birth after C-sectionPanel urges more choice in birth after C-sectionVaginal birth after caesarean, or VBAC,Truck Cover Chinais reasonably safe and should be more widely available,Mold,

a National Institutes of Health advisory panel concluded Wednesday. Such deliveries once accounted for 25% of U.S. births among women with a previous caesarean delivery, but have now fallen to less than 9%. Many women would like to attempt a vaginal delivery, however, and the panel's consensus statement is expected to increase their access to the option. The panel, composed of independent experts in maternal and child health, found that although both VBAC and planned, repeat caesareans posed a range of risks and benefits, women should be allowed more choice. Thus, nonmedical deterrents such as hospital policies, legal liability concerns and doctor preferences should be dismantled,Truck Cover Chinait said. "The tide is to walk away from VBAC. But the panel is making a clear statement that we need to understand and better address the nonmedical barriers to VBAC," said Carol Sakala, director of programs for Childbirth Connection, a national nonprofit organization that works to improve maternity care.

"They want to give women the option of VBAC." The statement was released at the conclusion of a three-day meeting in Bethesda, Md., to reassess the scientific evidence on VBAC safety, taking into account women's and doctors' attitudes. The U.S. caesarean delivery rate has risen 50% since 1996 and now stands at a record high of 31.8% of all births,

and a policy of repeating caesareans once a woman has had one has contributed significantly to that climb.Truck Cover ChinaFederal health authorities have suggested the primary C-section rate should be about half of what it is now.#x相关的主题文章：
