ACOG modifies VBAC guidelines

Friday July 23, 2010
ACOG has modified their VBAC guidelines! Their guidelines state that twin pregnancies, VBA2C (Vaginal birth after two cesareans), large babies, post-dates, and unknown surgical incision should not be reasons to disallow a VBAC. Additionally, the new bulletin (#115) also states that the choice should be made up to the woman regarding the decision to attempt a VBAC or have a repeat ceserean.
