“…Furthermore, individuals with low numeracy skills tend to overweigh risks as well as treatment effectiveness . Given that much of the critical information regarding the risks of uterine rupture, perinatal death, and incidence of placenta previa/accreta in future pregnancies has been traditionally presented in the form of probabilities, it is essential that providers find ways to communicate this information in modalities that the majority of women and their families understand …”

“…Fortunately, there are ways to present numerical information that maximize the ability to draw inferences about the risks of complications from either VBAC or ERCD. Comprehension has been found to increase when the natural frequencies of whole numbers, such as 1 in 100, are used in place of percentages or probabilities . Avoiding the use of terms such as rare or unlikely is also recommended because these terms may be interpreted differently by individuals.…”

“…The level of obstetric intervention during TOLAC is an important consideration in the hospital context as well . It is well known that uterine rupture and its consequences are significantly less likely to occur in a spontaneous labor that progresses normally to a vaginal birth .…”

Pregnant women who had a previous cesarean birth must choose whether to have a repeat cesarean or to attempt a vaginal birth. Many of these women are candidates for a trial of labor. Current practice guidelines recommend that women should be thoroughly counseled during prenatal care about the benefits and harms of both a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) and an elective repeat cesarean delivery and be offered the opportunity to make an informed decision about mode of birth in collaboration with their provider. The purpose of this article is to improve the process of counseling, decision making, and informed consent by increasing health care providers' knowledge about the essential elements of shared decision making. Factors that affect the decisions to be made and concepts that are critical for effective counseling are explored, including clinical considerations, women's perspectives, decision-making models, health literacy and numeracy, communicating risk, and the use of decision aids. Issues related to birth sites for TOLAC are also discussed, including access, safety, refusal of surgery, and clinical management.

“…36 It has been argued that labor management in a woman's home does not include care practices that increase the risk of uterine rupture, such as induction or augmentation of labor. 37,38 Practices commonly used at home births, such as freedom of movement and continuous labor support, are independently associated with increased success for vaginal birth in general and may also contribute to the increased success of VBAC documented in home birth studies. [39][40][41] In the process of informed consent and shared decision making regarding place of birth, risk stratification in response to a woman's individual risk factors is important.…”

The number of women in the United States choosing to give birth at home has risen substantially in the past decade, creating an increased need for understanding of the evidence regarding the provision of midwifery care to women and families considering this option. The safety of home birth has been evaluated in observational studies in several industrialized nations, including the United States. Most studies find that women who are essentially healthy at term with a singleton fetus and give birth at home have positive outcomes and a lower rate of interventions during labor. Although some studies have found increased neonatal morbidity and mortality in newborns born at home when compared to newborns born in a hospital, the absolute numbers reported in both birth sites are very low. The purpose of this clinical bulletin is to review the evidence on provision of care to women and families who plan to give birth at home, including roles and responsibilities, shared decision making, informed consent, and ongoing assessment for birth site selection.
