Media reports Friday revealed that a panel of medical experts in U. S. has initiated a work to reverse the trend that it becomes more and more saddening for pregnant women, who had caesarean section to try to give vaginal birth.

Fifteen years ago, nearly three in 10 women who had a first C-section delivered their next baby vaginally, a trend called VBAC for vaginal birth after cesarean, while, today the rate has reduced to less than 10 percent from 28.3 percent in 1996, reveals the National Institutes of Health.

The repeat operations are fueling the nation’s overall Caesarean rate of 31.8 percent, which is witnessed to rise unceasingly for the last 11 years.

Dr. F. Gary Cunningham, the conference chairman and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, quoted, “We found the use of VBAC is certainly a safe alternative for the majority of women who've had one prior caesarean.”

It is reported that back in 1980, an expert panel claimed vaginal birth safe for many women who had had Caesareans, along with posing evidence that there are less than 1% vulnerable to uterine rupture risk.

Moreover, the experts have added that those who have prior cesarean delivery could discuss with their providers about VBAC, so that they can decide on a case-by-case basis if it makes sense.
