The International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) released the announcement today that mother/baby-friendly obstetrician, Dr. Tate, of Atlanta Georgia attended the VBAC of triplets!
Mom birthed naturally in the Atlanta hospital where her first two babies presented head down and the third arrived as a footling breech. Her three baby girls triggered labor in their own time - at 38 weeks gestation - and all had apgar scores of 8/9 at birth. No NICU necessities for these three!
The babies are all breastfeeding successfully and mom is elated with her successful VBAC. A heartfelt congratulations to her for this special birth. What lucky little girls she has! And major props to Dr. Tate who has quickly become one of the nation's most outstanding obstetricians through his wise practice that continuously puts mothers and babies first!
More details on the triplet girls delivered by VBAC:
1st Baby Girl = 4lbs, 6oz; 18.25in at 10:24pm, vertex.
2nd Baby Girl = 6lbs, 4oz; 18.25in at 10:37pm, vertex.
3rd Baby Girl = 3lbs, 11oz; 16.5in at 10:39pm, double footling breech extraction.

If you have had a previous cesarean, you too have the option of birthing vaginally for your future births - no matter how many previous c-sections you have had, or how many babies you are carrying. Read and link to more VBAC and HBAC resources here.

What a triumph!! I delivered frank breech twins with dr. Tate 7 months ago! What an amazing doctor!!
Brilliant work! Inspiring!
They were just...BORN. Like all babies hould be. No NICU. No surgical teams. Just a birth. Fabulous.
Awesome! I birthed my breech twins at home 4 months ago and it was a wonderful experience. My first came complete breech, the second was double footling.
Thank you, Dr. Tate. Women need more physicians like you. And congragulations on these beautiful babies.
That is one of the most amazing stories in this day and age. W00t!
That is so awesome. I wish more physicians and hospitals were open to VBAC for multiples (or singletons, for that matter) in the US.
I delivered triplets via c-section, my doctor did not even consider vbac, my largest triplet was 7 pounds 1 ounce. She did great!!! Go Momma!!!
AWESOME!!!! Way to go mama! We need more OB's like that in America.
Congrats! I just had triplet girls in December. My doctor would not even think about a vaginal birth! All three at delivery ended up feet first.
