title: [Management of pregnancies with a previous cesarean].
abstract: The cesarean rate in France has reached 21% in 2010. With a maintained fertility rate, management of a pregnant woman with a previous caesarean scar is becoming a daily situation for most obstetrical teams. Considering the small rate of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), we will try to establish an up-to-date review of the benefits and risks of encouraging trial of VBAC. This information can help professionals provide adequate counselling women or couples.
