Study: Only 2.9% Plan a VBA2C!

We have discussed that only 7% plan a vaginal birth after two or more cesareans.

That was national data published in 2015.

A study of California births, published in 2020, found that only 2.9% plan a vaginal birth after two cesareans (VBA2C.)

Data out of California can be a significant indicator for what is going on nationally as 1 in 8 US births occur there.

Why is the number so low?

As a mother shared: "A provider told me years ago that she had the ACOG rupture rate statistics right in front of her and I had an 80% chance of rupture for a VBA2C and that it is absolutely against medical advice for me to even attempt."

Nowhere in ACOG's VBAC guidelines do they say the uterine rupture rate after two cesareans is 80% or that planning a VBA2C is against medical advice.

Is it any wonder that 97% “choose” a third cesarean when this is the kind of counsel they receive?

Birthing women deserve better.

Most women who struggled with milk production with their first have an easier time with their second.
