Panel Urges New Look at Caesarean Guidelines

Excerpt from the article;

“We found the use of VBAC is certainly a safe alternative for the majority of women who’ve had one prior” Caesarean, provided that the incision was horizontal and low on the uterus, said Dr. F. Gary Cunningham, the conference chairman and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. About 70 percent of women who have had Caesareans are good candidates for trying for a normal birth, and 60 percent to 80 percent of those who try succeed."
