In 1990, National Study of VBACs in Birth Centers proposed by AABC members to provide an alternative for women whose only alternative to hospital confinement or a routine repeat cesarean section may be a home birth with a lay midwife. In 1998, Launch of Birth Centers Online BirthCenters.org - a joint project of the AABC Foundation and the American Association of Birth Centers.
