| Some of the up sides to VBAC's are: - Safety- Vaginal birth even VBAC is safer for mommy and baby than a c-section -Shorter Recovery Time - More Personal Involvement - Lower Cost The current recommendations are: - VBAC is perfered over repeate c-section for women with low transverse uterine scars (lower horizontal scar on abdomen) - There is no limit on how many previous c-sections are unsafe. Many women who have had 2 or 3 c-sections have had VBAC's wiith no complications - Women with high vertical uterine scars should not try to have a VBAC |
