VBAC bans are becoming more common. In 2004, ICAN surveyed every hospital in the U.S. with regard to VBAC policy,and found over 300 hospitals with official policies banning VBAC. Many other hospitals had de facto bans because there were no attending physicians willing to support VBAC. As we update this information, it will appear on this map.
