I had a c section. could i do a vbac? what are the risks of doing this?

VBAC: Having a vaginal birth is a decision that you and your obstetrician will make. At time of delivery you may have a trial run to make sure you will be able to deliver vaginally. A big risk would be a ruptured uterus because of a pre existing uterine scar.

Maybe...depends...: You are at higher risk when you have an old incision on the uterus whether it be from prior removal of a fibroid or a c-section. The fear is that it may open up causing uterine rupture. With that said, the risk of uterine rupture depends on the location and number of the previous old incision(s). At the same time, there are risks to repeat c-sections as well. Discuss all options with your md.
