VBACs are very common everywhere!
The only concern would be how your uterus was cut during the c-section. if it was bikini cut no problem. If it was cut up and down then you should NOT have a VBAC. because the stress of pushing could cause the scar tissue to open up and hemorrhage.

Um...the state doesn't do VBACs. Women in labor, with the help of their doctors, midwives, nurses, whatever, do.
VBACs are not illegal in any state, though you may have trouble finding a doctor willing to allow one.
Which is dumb, because whatever the risks of VBAC, women who deliver surgically are three times more likely to die in or after childbirth than women who deliver vaginally. (A new study came out two weeks ago.) Women who've had C-sections can't be induced, due to a higher risk of uterine rupture. If both your incisions (inside and outside) aren't horizontal (i.e. "bikini cut"), you can't do a VBAC. And if you had a C-section because of a persistent problem, such as a skeletal abnormality, you won't be encouraged to do a VBAC.

I'm not sure. You would have to ask your doctor. A friend of mine lost her full-term baby girl because she tried VBAC. She ended up with Uterin rupture and the baby was without oxygen too long and she died 3 days later.

I'm not sure, but my wife had three. (Not in GA) The last one, she was told that it would not happen. We just got to the hospital about forty minutes before she delivered. I remained calm and told them that she was in full labor. They didn't panic and neither did we. When they examined her, the baby was here. (This was her seventh child though.)
