ACOG’s new guidelines in VBAC seek to reduce repeat c-sections

Woo hoo! The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has revised its guidelines to say that “vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is a safe and appropriate choice for most women who have had a prior cesarean delivery, including for some women who have had two previous cesareans…”

Finally! Maybe they were listening at the NIH conference on VBAC (which I wrote about here on Mothering.com and also in the May/June 2010 print issue).
