If you've delivered a baby by C-section, you might have a choice with your next pregnancy schedule a repeat C-section or attempt vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
VBAC isn't right for everyone, though. Sometimes a pregnancy complication or underlying condition prevents the possibility of a successful VBAC.
Factors that would work against your having a successful VBAC include:
>Being an older mom
>Having a high body mass index (BMI)
>Having a baby with a high birth weight (over 4,000 grams, about 8.8 pounds)
>Having your pregnancy go beyond 40 weeks of gestation
>Having a short time between pregnancies (18 months or less)
since you had a c section before a year and 10 month it is still possible but the doctor according to the specific case might have another opinion
The chances of a successful VBAC are higher if:
>You've had only one prior low transverse uterine incision the most common type for a C-section and no other uterine incisions
>You and your baby are healthy and your pregnancy is progressing normally
>The reason you had your prior C-section isn't a factor this time
>Your labor begins naturally on or before your due date
>You've had a previous successful vaginal delivery
Talk with your practitioner about your individual chance of success and carefully weigh the benefits and the risks.
