  Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Utilization  TABLE    BACK to List of Indicators D        R        A        F        T
Just because a woman has had one Cesarean section (C-section) delivery does not necessarily mean she must deliver future babies by C-section. Many women have normal deliveries even though they had a C-section in the past. This report provides information on the proportion of vaginal births that occurred to mothers who had delivered previously by C-section. This indicator must be viewed with caution, as there is some evidence that standards of care are changing in this complex area. In general, higher percentages are better.
