Statistics on VBAC?

Does anyone know the percentages on VBAC success for women who try?  I'm looking for some resources just so I can explore all my options.  I'm not sold on a VBAC but I had an unplanned C-section last time and I think all the pitocin in my system might have made BFing harder (plus my exhaustion after 36 hours of labor).  I want to do everything that's best for the baby and I feel like I need more information.  I had a 9+pounder with baby #1 and he got stuck, no distress, but I think we was big at least partly to my GD. 

Any help or advice would be awesome.

    Avg VBAC success rates are around 75 and you will usually see success rates from 6090 depending on the study and other factors reason for primary c/s, gestational age, whether the mom is induced, etc.

    My hospital's VBAC success rate is 80 percent so the 70 to 90 stat sounds spot on.

    Iris is spot-on.
