Natural Birthing Options and Vaginal Birth After C-Section in Miami and Pembroke Pines Florida

Whether you’re interested in a more natural approach to childbirth or exploring VBAC, our team is here to provide personalized care, evidence-based guidance, and unwavering support every step of the way.


Exploring Natural Birthing Options

Natural birthing options focus on minimizing medical intervention, promoting a holistic experience, and allowing the mother’s body to guide the process. Women often choose this approach to feel more connected to their childbirth experience and to align with their health and wellness values.


Common Types of Natural Birthing Options

At Radiant Women’s Center, we help you explore and plan for the type of natural birth that best suits your needs:

  • Unmedicated Vaginal Birth: A traditional option where pain management is achieved through breathing techniques, movement, and support.

  • Water Birth: Delivering in a birthing tub, which can promote relaxation and reduce pain during labor.

  • Hypnobirthing: Using self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques to manage labor pain and stay focused.

  • Labor with a Birthing Professional: Partnering with a trained birthing professional to provide emotional and physical support throughout labor.

  • Home-Like Birth Center Experiences: For those seeking a less clinical atmosphere, our practice collaborates with local birthing centers to provide care tailored to your preferences.

  • Home Birthing Experience: Bring your baby into the world from the comfort and sanctity of your own home with guided care and medical oversight from Dr. Sheryl R. Facey and Radiant Women's Center.


Natural births allow for more freedom in labor positions, increased mobility, and a focus on fostering a strong bond with your baby immediately after delivery.


Benefits of Choosing Natural Birth

  • Enhanced Bonding: Immediate skin-to-skin contact promotes emotional connection and breastfeeding success.

  • Reduced Medical Interventions: Avoiding epidurals, inductions, or other interventions lowers the risk of complications.

  • Personal Empowerment: Many women feel more in control and fulfilled by the natural birth process.

  • Faster Recovery: Without surgical or medication-related side effects, recovery is often quicker.


Our team is skilled in providing the support, education, and tools needed to ensure your natural birthing experience is safe and fulfilling.


What Is VBAC, and Why Consider It?

For women who have previously delivered via cesarean section, vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is a safe and empowering option. VBAC allows you to experience a vaginal delivery in subsequent pregnancies, offering physical and emotional benefits that a repeat C-section may not.


Key Benefits of VBAC

  • Avoiding Surgery: Vaginal births eliminate the risks and recovery time associated with major abdominal surgery.

  • Quicker Healing: VBAC typically results in a shorter hospital stay and faster postpartum recovery.

  • Lower Risk of Complications in Future Pregnancies: Reducing the number of cesareans can improve outcomes in subsequent pregnancies.

  • Emotional Fulfillment: Many women feel a sense of triumph and healing in achieving a vaginal birth after a previous C-section.


Is VBAC Right for You?

Determining VBAC suitability requires a thorough evaluation of your medical history, the type of incision from your previous C-section, and any factors that may influence labor. Dr. Facey provides a detailed consultation to help you make an informed decision.
