There is a wide variety of information available about Vaginal Birth After Caesarean.   Your decision about whether to plan a VBAC, or to choose a repeat caesarean section is a very personal one.   There are many reasons why women choose VBAC.  It is best to look at the information available, speak with your partner and your care provider and then make the decision that is right for you.  

Information from the Next Birth After Caesarean Clinic at King Edward Hospital in Perth is current and evidence-based.   It was written in 2008.  www.wnhs.health.wa.gov.au/health/VBAC/index.htm
