Abstract:
Declining rates of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) are contributing to rising total cesarean delivery rates. The reasons behind the decreased utilization of VBAC are complex, but concerns about the safety of a trial of labor after cesarean are often cited. This manuscript will present a summary of existing evidence on maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes associated with trial of labor after cesarean/VBAC, and highlight findings from recent contributions to this literature.
