American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Recommends…
I just found this site: http://www.guideline.gov/browse/by-organization.aspx?orgid=85 for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) posts their recommendations, (and updated recommendations) that doctors should counsel a patient about Vaginal Birth after Cesarean in these situations:

Did your doctor follow these guidelines?
“Cesarean with a Sibling” A children’s picture book.
VBAC Community is please to announce the release of “Cesarean with a Sibling”
Introducing a new baby into a child’s life can be a dramatic experience, but imagine if suddenly mommy can’t pick up or carry the older child. Cesarean with a Sibling is a picture book designed to help a child understand that mommy has a wound and has to temporarily limit certain actions. The book offers suggestions for activities they can do together while mommy is healing and reinforces that mommy loves them.

VBAC help in Southern Indiana
Lora from Bedford Indiana recently contact us:
“Hi I am a mother of 2 beautiful children and pregnant with my 3rd…I had to have a c-sect with my 1st child because I had pre eclampsia. With my 2nd child I had no complications they just never offered the VBAC and therefore I never knew I had another option…With this child I have researched a lot about VBACS and I really want to try to take that route…I am having a really hard time finding a dr who will support a VBAC because I have had 2 previous c-sections…
…I do not want to be robbed of my last opportunity to feel like a true mother and have a vaginal birth…Please help me!!!”

Transient Tachypnea: Common (but secret) risk of a C-section.
January 25, 2011 …Transient Tachypnea – a terrible condition that can occur after birth where fluid remains in an infant’s lungs causing breathing difficulties. It is treatable, but it can fatal. This condition occurs more often when a c-section is performed because the infant’s torso isn’t squeezed during birth as it is during a vaginal birth and the infant’s lung function isn’t jump started by the hormone cocktail of a vaginal labor… …the doctors and nurses describe this as a common condition. So common, in fact, no one bothered to tell her it was a risk. And that isn’t a fluke – I casually survey 10 VBAC moms, and NONE of them had heard of this condition… read more
