previous cesarean delivery

A previous cesarean delivery means you've had a C-section in a previous pregnancy. During this procedure, a surgical incision was made through your abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. If you're pregnant again, your healthcare provider will consider this history to plan your care. Depending on factors like your health, reasons for the first C-section, and current pregnancy, a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) may be possible, or a repeat C-section might be recommended. Your provider will discuss the safest options tailored to your situation to ensure both your health and your baby's well-being.
