Possibility of Vaginal Delivery in Patients with Previous Cesarean Delivery

Many women who have had a cesarean delivery (C-section) wonder if they can have a vaginal birth in their next pregnancy. The good news is that a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) is possible for many women, depending on their health, previous delivery details, and medical history.
At Sneh Fertility & Urology Center, we offer expert guidance to help women make informed choices about their delivery options.

Is VBAC a Safe Option?

VBAC can be a safe and successful option for many women, but it requires careful evaluation by a gynecologist. Factors such as the reason for the previous C-section, type of uterine incision, and overall maternal health determine whether VBAC is advisable.

Who is a Good Candidate for VBAC?

Women are more likely to have a successful vaginal delivery after a C-section if they:
  •  ✔ Had only one previous low-transverse C-section.
    ✔ Have no history of uterine rupture or complications.
    ✔ Had a previous successful vaginal delivery.
    ✔ Are carrying a single baby in head-down position.
    ✔ Have a healthy pregnancy with no complications like placenta previa.

Factors That May Reduce VBAC Success

Some conditions may lower the chances of a successful vaginal birth and increase risks:
  •  ❌ Multiple previous C-sections with no vaginal deliveries.
    Vertical or classical uterine incision (higher risk of rupture).
    Previous uterine rupture or fibroid removal surgery.
    Pregnancy complications like high blood pressure or diabetes.
    Large baby (Macrosomia) or narrow pelvis.

Benefits of VBAC

Shorter Recovery Time – Faster healing compared to C-section.
Lower Risk of Surgical Complications – Avoids major surgery risks.
Better Future Pregnancy Outcomes – Reduces risks associated with multiple C-sections.
Less Blood Loss & Infection Risk – Compared to repeat cesarean surgery.

Risks of VBAC

While VBAC is generally safe for eligible women, there is a small risk of uterine rupture (when the C-section scar on the uterus tears during labor). This is why VBAC must be attempted in a well-equipped hospital with emergency care available.
