On this page you will find many links to information regarding VBAC's and uterine rupture. If you are thinking about attempting VBAC, please make your decision an informed one. If I would have known half of what I know now, I would NEVER have attempted VBAC. I didn't know that my VBAC attempt would take my childs life away. I did not know that my choice to VBAC would take away my ability to have more children. I am lucky to be here for my older son. The thought of my not being here for him is too much to bear. I had no idea that my life could be taken. I had no idea that my being induced raised my risk of uterine rupture. The reason that I didn't know these things is that my doctor NEVER told me. My decision was not an informed one. I am against VBAC.....but my job is not to force my beliefs on others. I am doing what most doctors are not.......educating women as to the real risks of VBAC. Is VBAC worth your baby's life????
