Giving Birth After A Previous Cesarean- Contact for Dates (2023)
with Kasey Myles, MMC Childbirth Education

This is a one hour, private class with a Labor & Delivery nurse to discuss options after a previous cesarean delivery. Designed for individuals and their partners who are considering a Trial of Labor After a Cesarean (TOLAC), please talk with your provider before registering this class to see if a TOLAC is an option for you.
To schedule a class, email Kasey.Myles@MaineHealth.org
We will take time to discuss your previous birth experience, define what is most important to you as you consider options for this pregnancy, and what you can do to increase your chances of a vaginal delivery if you choose to labor this time.
You will learn how to prepare for a TOLAC at MMC, and understand strategies to prepare for both a vaginal and repeat caesarean birth if needed.
We recommend attending this class during the second trimester of pregnancy.
Due to the changes in Maine Medical's visitor guidelines, we are temporarily offering this class online. After you are registered, shortly before the class starts you will receive an email with information as to how to participate in the class. Thank you for understanding.
