Answer 1

There is an official website about VBAC. It has many links you can click on to get more info. This site can also be a valuable educational resource for childbirth educators, nurses, midwives, doulas (professional labor assistants), and physicians. The combined contribution and experience of each of those professions can help to provide optimal care for the childbearing women they serve.

Birth is a major life event that significantly impacts a mother's physical and emotional well-being. A cesarean can be a life-saving procedure for a mother and/or her baby, but overall, birth by cesarean puts healthy pregnant women at risk for medical complications. Recent evidence suggests that cesarean birth, particularly if it was unexpected, may also put women at increased psychological risk.

Performing a cesarean section on one out of three women and a repeat cesarean on more than 90% of women with a prior cesarean runs contrary to the US Healthy People 2010 goals. US National objectives to improve maternal, infant, and child health outcomes is to lower the cesarean rate for first time mothers to 15%, and increase the VBAC rate to 63% by the year 2010.

The second site I listed is a question and answer forum where you can conmmunicate with others who are going through or have gone through this.
