I think it is interesting the variation in opinions regarding VBAC. This ranges from experts who oppose universally offering trial of labor with prior uterine incision to others who will advocate home VBAC.. :)

PS. I prefer middle ground, encouraging trial of labor with prior documented low transverse incision in a setting where rapid cesarean delivery can be accomplished..

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
