I've read the opposite. I've heard it's dangerous and not likely to be performed. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:42 7
- I really think it depends on the reasons for the first C-section. - kelly Aug 17, 09:47 1
  - *mwah* I kiss you! - Subversive Aug 17, 09:49
- Wherever you got it, it was incorrect. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:42 4
  - I stand corrected, it appears 90% of women who've had a c-section can have a vbac delivery. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:48
  - Well, anyway, in the cases where a C-section is actually medically necessary, VBAC would be ill-advised. - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:47 2
    - Again, not really true. It depends on a lot of factors. - Subversive Aug 17, 09:51
    - Definitely, sometimes they are certainly medically necessary, no doubt. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:48
