The international literature concerning cesarean surgeries (CSs) make it clear that many of these procedures are unnecessary. Using a phenomenological methodology, we seek to understand the experiences and decisions of women who have undergone vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Various factors contribute to the choice of VBAC. Making VBAC a more regular practice would contribute to a decrease in the total number of repeat CSs. The purpose of this study is threefold: (a) to understand the process that women use to select a VBAC rather than a repeat cesarean, (b) to understand the mothers' lived experience of that VBAC, and (c) to use the aforementioned data to inform the development of new educational programs for mothers considering VBAC.
关于剖宫产手术（CSs）的国际文献表明，许多此类手术是不必要的。我们采用现象学方法，试图了解剖宫产术后经阴道分娩（VBAC）的女性的经历和决策。多种因素促成了VBAC的选择。使VBAC成为更常规的做法将有助于减少再次剖宫产的总数。本研究的目的有三个：（a）了解女性选择VBAC而非再次剖宫产的过程，（b）了解母亲们VBAC的实际经历，以及（c）利用上述数据为考虑VBAC的母亲们开发新的教育项目提供信息。
