The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynocolgists (ACOG)in July of last year helped women desiring to have a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) in the hospital by posting less restrictive guidelines for doing so.
However, in the state of Nebraska, the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha is the one place I know of where a woman stands a chance of having a VBAC in hospital. One of the couples I work with told me that the midwives at UNMC said women desiring a VBAC need to go completely unmedicated in labor to prevent uterin rupture. As of the time the couple had met with the UNMC midwives, the women who were able to go unmedicated had all taken Bradley childbirth classes.
