Success rate of vaginal birth?

Jasmine

I read the chances of successful VBAC were 60-80%. Curious what the success rate of vaginal births is the first time around?

I'm doing lots of reading and there are lots of stats around % chance of issues in c section (hemorrhage, infection, scar rupture etc) but I haven't seen any stats on the % chance of issues in natural births e.g chance of tear, %of birth requiring episiotomy, requiring forceps etc. I'd anyone has any resources they can share that would be great
