VBACs

I found a great site on VBACs (Vaginal birth after Cesarean) yesterday.

http://www.vbac.com/index.html

{This website provides childbearing women and maternity care professionals access to research-based information, resources, continuing education and support for VBAC* (vaginal birth after cesarean).}


In the United States more than one million women, 1 in 3, give birth by cesarean every year, the most common major operation performed in the country. Current evidence shows that the majority of women can have safe vaginal births after a prior cesarean (a VBAC), but according to the US Centers for Disease Control the VBAC rate fell 67% in the last ten years.
