Introduction: Vaginal birth after cesarean section is a method that provides many advantagesfor the woman and its existence is vital as a service. This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part a review of the VBAC is included and in the second part a study regarding the women’s VBAC experience in a Greek population (July 2018-February 2019) is presented. Methods: The study was held via the internet with an improvised questionnaire and 473 womenparticipated. Results:As other studies, the results showed that VBAC success rates were over 70% (78.85%), while the reasons for the previous Cesarean Section were the same. It is impressive the fact that during pregnancy and childbirth, over 50% of women felt very happy and satisfied, while 35% to 40% felt moderate or no fear at all. Further more, 96.48% of them would do VBAC birth again, while 97.36% would recommend this way of delivery to other women. Conclusions:VBAC is a service that needs to have more offering in our country as well as room for improvement in obtaining informed consent, and apparently, in ob stetric care services. More studies should be held to draw further conclusion.
