• In case of a previous caesarean section a subsequent pregnancy can be planned beforehand to be delivered by either of the following two main methods: Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) Elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS) Both have higher risks than a vaginal birth with no previous caesarean section. (wikipedia.org)
  • There is a slightly higher risk for uterine rupture and perinatal death of the child with VBAC than ERCS, but the absolute increased risk of these complications is small, especially with only one previous low transverse caesarean section. (wikipedia.org)
  • 60-80% of women planning VBAC will achieve a successful vaginal delivery, although there are more risks to the mother and baby from an unplanned caesarean section than from an ERCS. (wikipedia.org)
  • Where the woman is labouring with a previous section scar (i.e. a planned VBAC in labour), depending on the provider, special precautions may be recommended. (wikipedia.org)

(wikipedia.org)
  • The presence of twins may reduce the chance of successful VBAC, but if the leading twin is head first (cephalic presentation) and there are no other reasons to recommend caesarean section, VBAC should be offered. (wikipedia.org)
  • According to ACOG guidelines, the following criteria may reduce the likelihood of VBAC success but should NOT preclude a trial of labour: having two prior caesarean sections, suspected fetal macrosomia at term (fetus greater than 4000-4500 grams in weight), gestation beyond 40 weeks, twin gestation, and previous low vertical or unknown previous incision type, provided a classical uterine incision is not suspected. (wikipedia.org)
