What are complications of vbac?

Uterine Rupture: The most common complications are a failed vbac & need for vaginal bypass (c-section). The most serious are uterine dehiscence (separation of the uterine scar) or rupture. This can lead to catastrophic results with hemorrhage, emergency surgery, hysterectomy, and fetal loss. Major point - please vbac in a hospital where your OB can keep you safe and have access to immediate surgery if needed.

Death, injury.: Maternal and/or fetal death or injury (including permanent brain injury) can occur if the prior uterine scar ruptures.

Uterine rupture: Failed vbac with repeat c-section is most common problem. Uterine rupture in the area of the previous incision is the most serious. This occurs in less than 1% of pt. But is very dangerous to mother and baby if it happens. Results may include severe bleeding, hysterectomy, fetal death and maternal death.
