Pretty sure I'll be attempting a VBAC

704bride · July 2011

I had placenta previa with my son and my placenta was only 1 cm away from my cervix at the end, so I had a c-section. Now, my placenta is still considering low lying (2.7-2.85 cm away), but they're pretty certain it's going to move further away. I haven't talked too much yet with my doctors about a VBAC, but decided to start doing my own research. The biggest thing I want to learn is how much of an increased risk I am at for complications than someone having a vaginal delivery that is not after a c-section. Has anyone come across a great website and/or book that has a lot of good information about VBACs?

A good book for basics about labor is Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn. I also like The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth, and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, both of which have chapters on VBAC.There are some entire books on VBAC but I think many of the are out of date so you may want to check the publication date. A lot of books have small sections on VBAC but many have incorrect info.The internet can be a very good place for up to date VBAC information. Here are some links that I've found to have good info:https://givingbirthwithconfidence.org/2-2/a-womans-guide-to-vbac/https://www.childbirthconnection.org/article.asp?ck=10210 https://consensus.nih.gov/2010/vbacstatement.htm Here are the ACOG 2010 VBAC guidelines:https://www.acog.org/from_home/publications/press_releases/nr07-21-10-1.cfm https://www.ourbodiesourblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ACOG_guidelines_vbac_2010.pdf
