I'm so happy to see that ACOG has revised their guidelines for VBAC. Not that I needed them telling me I can attempt a VBA2C but it certainly will help my case for my next pregnancy (not sure when that will be yet, but I do hope to have another baby).
Here's a yahoo article summarizing the news and here is the ACOG press release statement.
Main take away quote: "Attempting a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is a safe and appropriate choice for most women who have had a prior cesarean delivery, including for some women who have had two previous cesareans, according to guidelines released today by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists."
VBAC facts gives an analysis of the statement and ICAN has a response as well.
Yes, this is a step in the right direction. Now I hope to see it put into practice.
