Would You Consider a VBAC?
Our parents' generation believed that once you had a c-section, all subsequent births would happen the same way. Today, many women who delivered prior babies via cesarean are considered candidates for Vaginal Birth After C-Section, or VBAC. About 60-80 percent of women who try VBAC are successful, but the rate of women willing to try is falling every year.

The text is a guide to natural delivery and birthing options.
Baby Bump: Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Sections
C-sections have been on the rise with many moms-to-be opting to schedule their deliveries, but if these women are planning on broadening their brood — they might want to think again.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2005, 30.2 percent of all live births in the United States were cesarean deliveries.
A new study conducted at Case Western Reserve University suggests that women who have one vaginal birth after a c-section, also know as a VBAC, may be more successful in having subsequent deliveries without going under the knife.
