Lawyers....: Many patients are perfect candidates for vbac (vaginal birth after c-section). However, many hospitals require immediately available access to c-section including anesthesia, surgeon, or team, & pediatrician. The logistics and liability for bad outcome (uterine rupture) although approx 1% is high enough to not want to encourage or support vbacs. The requirements are too difficult & costly. Sorry.
