  • Title: How safe is vaginal birth after cesarean section for the mother and fetus?
    Author: Crawford P, Kaufmann L.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 2006 Feb; 55(2):149-51; discussion 149. PubMed ID: 16451783.
    Abstract:
    Compared with planned repeat low-transverse cesarean section, vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) is not associated with increased risk of maternal or neonatal mortality (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B). Morbidity is slightly increased, as evidenced by higher uterine rupture rates and some neonatal outcome measures (SOR: B).
