Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC): refers to the practice of delivering a baby vaginally after a previous baby has been delivered through caesarean section (surgically). According to the American Pregnancy Association, 90% of women who have undergone cesarean deliveries are candidates for VBAC.
Approximately 60-80% of women opting for VBAC will successfully give
birth vaginally, which is comparable to the overall vaginal delivery
rate in the United States in 2010.
