Not much else: The risk of rupture is not common but is probably the likely risk with a second C section. The decision should be made by the OB considering your risks at and around delivery.

Depends: If you had a low transverse c-section, VBAC can be appropriate, and the risk of uterine rupture is low. Be sure to speak with your OB to determine which option is best for you. Hope this helps!
