I know the best place to go is to your ObGyn, which I have done and they are very supportive. I want to know if there are any medical websites or books that discuss both sides of for and against a VBAC. I am going to try a VBAC with this baby. I want to be prepared as much as I can. TIA
Re: Where is a good place to get research on VBACs?
Super close
www.ican-online.org
OP, you can also check out www.vbacfacts.com and www.theunnecesarean.com . All of these websites have very helpful information and reading lists to get you started. With ICAN, you can join the online community, as well as find a local meeting group in your area for more information on local hospitals and providers. HTH and GL!

Unfortunately, sometimes an OB isn't the best place to get information. Not all doctors and midwives keep up with research and know their facts about VBAC. Hopefully that is not the case with your doctor though.
Here are some sites that I think are good and objective:

If you want some more in-depth reading, the National Institute of Health's statement on VBAC is very informative:

And here is ACOG's most recent practice bulletin about VBAC:
