To challenge oneself as a childbearing woman-the lived experience of vaginal birth after caesarean section in Sweden.

CONCLUSIONS: The experience of VBAC meant regained trust in the ability to give birth vaginally. The women lacked follow-up and support after the caesarean section (CS), during the subsequent pregnancy and the forthcoming VBAC. Enhanced support could be a key factor in helping women meeting the challenge and feel confident about giving birth vaginally despite their previous experiences of CS.
