A member asked:
Complications led to a previous c-section, is it dangerous to attempt a vaginal delivery for my new pregnancy?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
VBAC is usually safe: Vbac, or vaginal birth after c-section is usually a reasonable alternative to repeat c-section. There is approximately a 1% chance of a serious complication, and about a 75% likelihood of successful vaginal delivery. C-sections are quite safe, but the risk increases with each one. There are some patients who should not attempt a vbac, and your provider can help to weigh the risks and benefits.

Maybe...depends...: You are at higher risk when you have an old incision on the uterus whether it be from prior removal of a fibroid or a c-section. The fear is that it may open up causing uterine rupture. With that said, the risk of uterine rupture depends on the location and number of the previous old incision(s). At the same time, there are risks to repeat c-sections as well. Discuss all options with your md.
