Biased, dangerous sources. [/quote]

I haven't found them to be so.  They offer evidence based cited information, including not only the risks of VBAC but the risks of multiple cesareans/placenta accreta, which is a real concern for some families who desire to have multiple children.  There are risks to both choices.  This is not a black and white issue.  I'm going to assume by your response that you believe that those two websites advocate for VBAC all the time no matter what.  That's actually not the case, they advocate for informed consent and women making their own decisions and supporting those regardless of what they are.

I've looked at those sites as well, and while you're right that they don't recommend vbac for everyone, they are certainly biased and definitely skew both their interpretation of the data and which data they choose to present.  I would much rather look through the ACOG metadata analysis and then discuss the factors cited there with my doctor.   And, no, it's not black and white.  Except for an individual person, it may be -- if your individual factors mean that VBAC presents significantly higher risks of maternal or fetal mortality.  And, for some women, it does.  And for many women, to be sure, it doesn't.[/quote]
