I'm sure this link has been posted before, but here it is again.

These are the ACOG practice bulletin guidelines for VBACs from 2004.  Unfortunately, I have not seen a newer version that includes their recently loosened restrictions, but the statistics from the cited studies are still REALLY helpful.  These are the actual statistics the ACOG appears to back up.  You can also probably at least Google the abstracts for the studies listed at the end of the pamphlet for a little more information.  I've seen a lot of people say their doctors give stats that don't compare to these at all, and it really upsets me. 

Enjoy reading!

Thank you.  I have seen that one, and it makes me very happy, but the link I posted in the OP has a lot more statistics about going overdue, big babies, use of various induction methods, etc. and how they affect/don't affect the risk or success of VBAC.

Ahhh... Now we're on the same page I wonder if the practice bulletin with the newer guidelines just hasn't been published yet...

EDIT:  It is listed as being in the August 2010 Practice Bulletin #115, but I'm unable to access it on ACOG's site without a membership.  But it's definitely been published. HTH.

Here is the newest patient pamphlet on VBAC that was updated in September 2010...
