Normal Delivery After Cessarean Section - Advisable Or Not?

Its a frequently asked question. Whether is it possible to undergo normal vaginal delivery after cessarean or not?

Well. Its very much possible. Its called vbac (vaginal birth after cessarean). If the gap from last cessarean is more than 3 years, if there is adequate pelvis, if there is spontaneous labour and no added complications then one may undergo trial of vaginal delivery. With proper guidance and skilled gynecologist's work upto as high as 30% may deliver normally after cessarean. Ofcourse if not taken care of the mibor details then previous scar may start giving a way. & thats why if you are going for trial of normal delivery after cessarean then it must be with skilled gynecologist.

If your health is ok there will be no problem. You are already 32 so waiting for 3 to 4 years is not recommended.

Hi, My first delivery was 9 july 2016 and now I had second normal delivery with 2 stitches 2 months ago 8 july 2018, so now can I eat tomatoes and pickles etc. Or from which month I can eat everything? And what precaution should I take to avoid pregnancy again for 3 years?

Hi lybrate-user, you can very well eat anything from tomatoes to pickles, but keep your food nutritious though with veggies and eggs and keep your weight in check. Tomatoes and pickles do not have anything to do with delivery and pickles should be avoided if your bmi is in overweight category. And to avoid pregnancy for 3 years, the best method of contraception I would advise is a Copper T or a Mirena because you would not have to bother about it after insertion till the time you want a next baby.

"c sec is the firt priority." this is your impression not the truth. Go to obstetrician in whom you have trust as it is only during labour depending on condition of mother and baby both decisions are taken
