VBAC
Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section (VBAC) in properly selected cases is as safe as any other subgroup of women attempting vaginal birth. In a recent intensive review of the literature, the National Institute of Health (NIH) put together a consensus report confirming this statement. In fact, they found that properly selected patients should be given true informed consent and if this is done then more than 70% of women who attempt a VBAC will succeed. They also concluded that the risks of repeat c/sections have been understated and are, in fact, often greater to mother and baby than those associated with a VBAC.
