I think the idea of a "VBAC consent form" or "repeat cesarean consent form" is incomplete. I think there should be a more encompassing "birth after cesarean consent form" that goes over the risks and benefits for VBAC vs. repeat cesarean for mom and baby as well as how the mode of birth impacts future births. Naturally, this would be a very long document, but I think people need to understand more than just the risks of VBAC or just the risks of repeat cesarean. A good place to start is the <a href="http://vbacfacts.com" rel="nofollow">Quick Facts</a> page. Warmly, Jen Georganna,
