The Weathering Hypothesis was proposed to account for early healthy deterioration as a result of cumulative exposure to experiences of social, economic, and political adversity. It is well documented that minority groups and marginalized communities suffer from poorer health outcomes. This may be due to a multitude of stressors including prejudice, social alienation, institutional bias, political oppression, economic exclusion, and racial discrimination. The weathering hypothesis proposes that the cumulative burden of these stressors as individuals age is “weathering” and the increased weathering experienced by minority groups compared to others can account for differences in health outcomes.

VBAC birth stands for Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. If your medical provider has told you that you will be unable to ever have a vaginal birth after having a C-section, do not be afraid to ask for a second opinion and consult another medical provider. VBACs are not right for everyone, and if your previous C-section wasn’t handled well or resulted in a high vertical uterine incision, prior uterine rupture, or you have had other types of uterine surgeries, you may not be a good candidate for a VBAC. Consult with your doctor, multiple doctors if needed, and take all medical factors into consideration.
