What Do You Know About VBAC?
After having a C-section for their first baby, some mamas opt to give vaginal birth a try for the second. It's not always an option, but qualified candidates may get to experience the miracle of childbirth both ways. Take the quiz to see how much you know about vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
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.

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.
