VBAC.Com A Woman Centered, Evidense-Based, Resource 

VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) is a safe alternative to a routine repeat cesarean.   Our aim is to provide evidence-based resources and support about VBAC  from a variety of sources; scientific studies, professional guidelines, government reports, birth advocacy groups, as well as successful and established VBAC programs. We want to help women make informed decisions about how they want to give birth and to encourage an honest and respectful dialogue with their caregivers. Providing accurate information and resources about VBAC can help childbearing women and their families avoid the risks associated with cesarean section.
