Increasing Vaginal Birth after Cesarean in United States

According to the recent estimates, around 25% of babies are born by cesarean delivery in the United States, creating a situation for many women to opt for a repeat c/section, or to undergo an attempt at vaginal delivery for their next pregnancy.

There are certain risks that are more likely to occur when a woman has had a prior c/section. The most uncommon, but most significant, risk is uterine rupture. This happens with about half of those women who have had a prior low-transverse c/section.

Since we know that vaginal deliveries are almost always safer for the mother, and usually as safe for the baby, and that VBAC attempts are successful in about 80% of cases.

Finally, a number of women do not wish to take the risk of uterine rupture, which is very rare in most cases. By consulting good physicians, patients can make the best choices based on their specific medical history, doctor's advice, and individual situation.
