caesarean section, lower segment

caesarean section, vaginal birth after A vaginal delivery for a woman who previously had a caesarean section. It was once the rule that after a caesarean section, the next delivery also had to be by caesarean section. Now vaginal delivery after caesarean section is sometimes feasible. Age is one of the factors that need to be considered because women over 30 who try a vaginal delivery after a caesarean section are more likely than younger women to have a uterine rupture. Abbreviated VBAC.
