X3watch - Accountability Software Annotated

• So, who wants to be my accountability partner? The only downside is
  that the free version only sends reports every two weeks. I'm sure
  it'll be a very long list by then. - post by revjim

Statistics from a study on VBAC Deliveries from VBAC.com Annotated

Among the complications the study found in women who attempted a vaginal birth
after prior Cesarean delivery were rupture of the uterus, infection of the
uterine lining, lack of oxygen to the infant brain, and infant death. The
study authors noted, however, that the risks of these complications were very low.

Uterine rupture is the most well known complication of attempted vaginal
delivery after a prior Cesarean delivery.

In all, 17,898 of the women attempted a vaginal birth. [...] Among the infants born to the women who attempted vaginal birth after a Cesarean, .08 percent (12) were diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, a condition that may result from lack of oxygen to the baby's brain.
