Trial of labor versus repeat cesarean: are patients making an informed decision?

Objective: Most women eligible for a trial of labor after a cesarean (TOLAC) undergo an elective repeat cesarean section (ERCS). We hypothesized that this is largely because of poor patient education.

Study Design: This was a prospective study of women who presented to our hospital from November 2010 through July 2011 who were candidates for TOLAC.
