Vaginal birth after cesarean delivery rates in the U.S. 2016-2024

Published by Jenny Yang, Jun 29, 2026

As of 2024, the rate of vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC) delivery in the U.S. was **** percent. That is, roughly one in seven women who had a previous c-section gave birth vaginally instead of having another c-section. While there are some risks, VBAC delivery is safe and recommended when certain factors are taken into consideration, such as the type of incision, number of c-sections, time between births etc.

The rate of VBAC has increased over the observed period, showing that more women are educated about the advantages of VBAC. Despite this, not all U.S. hospitals allow a VBAC attempt.
