Vaginal delivery following previous caesarean section - what does this mean

Vaginal delivery following a previous caesarean section is a form of delivery that occurs when a woman who has previously had a caesarean section decides to attempt a vaginal birth for her subsequent baby. this form of delivery is usually reserved for women who have had a successful trial of labor following a caesarean section and have been assessed as being a good candidate for a vaginal birth. it is a complex process and requires close monitoring of the mother and baby throughout labor.

What happens during the disease - vaginal delivery following previous caesarean section

Vaginal delivery following previous caesarean section is a high-risk delivery due to the potential for uterine rupture. this is caused by the pressure of the baby's head on the area of the uterus that was previously cut during the caesarean section, which can weaken the uterine wall and lead to rupture. this can result in severe bleeding and other serious complications for both mother and baby.
