Is vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) or elective repeat cesarean safer in women with a prior vaginal delivery?

Article Abstract:

A retrospective cohort study determines whether vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) or elective repeat cesarean delivery is safer for a woman. It is concluded that women who have had a prior vaginal delivery have less composite maternal morbidity if they attempt VBAC compared with undergoing an elective repeat cesarean delivery, and the trial of labor is a safer overall option for women who have had a prior vaginal birth.
