Can I Give Birth Vaginaly Post A C-section?

My first delivery is caesarean due to fetal distress. Can I expect a normal delivery second time? I have read that if your first delivery is a c- section then second will also be a c- section. I was under depression due to my surgery. I don t want this to happen again to me.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that As long as you're an appropriate candidate for a vaginal birth after a cesarean, also known as a VBAC, there's a good chance you'll succeed. Of course, your chances of success are higher if the reason for your previous c-section isn't likely to be an issue this time around.

As long as you don't have previous C-section due to problems like Narrow pelvis (CPD), other extensive surgeries of uterus etc. there will be no problem in having vaginal delivery this time.

Also, I would like to advice that you should not worry about a C-section or Vaginal delivery as the decision is taken on eleventh hour after taking into consideration your and your child's health and risks. So whichever type of delivery your doctor suggests you must be taking into consideration the health of both you and your baby.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
