Did a bit of googling...

What are the benefits of a VBAC?

The benefits of a VBAC compared to a C-section include:

• Avoiding another scar on your uterus. This is important if you are planning on a future pregnancy—the more scars on the uterus, the greater the chance of problems with a later pregnancy.
• Less pain after delivery.
• Fewer days in the hospital and a shorter recovery at home.
• A lower risk of infection.
• A more active role for you and your birthing partner in the birth of your child.

What are the risks of VBAC?

The most serious risk of a VBAC is that a C-section scar could come open during . This is very rare, but when it does happen, it can be very serious for both the mother and the baby. The risk that a scar will tear open is very low during VBAC when you have just one low cesarean scar and your labor is not started with medicine. This risk is why VBAC is only offered by hospitals that can do a rapid emergency C-section.

If you have a trial of labor and need to have a C-section, your risk of infection is slightly higher than if you just had a C-section.

That's just a bit of it, there's a lot more, and some good FAQs at

It's sort of interesting though... it certainly has a US Obstetric spin on it all.
