I have seen women who delivered vaginally after previous cesarean sections. These are called VBAC (Vaginal birth after C-section.) You have to discuss with your OB doc. There is an increase risk for uterine rupture in VBAC. This is because you have a scar in your uterus from previous surgery. It is a potential weak point under pressure. This is why the most common reason for having a cesarean is the previous history of cesarean. There are plenty of other reasons for having C-section initially like breech, multiple births, fetal distress, and others.
The death rate associated with cesarean sections in the Philippines varies depending on factors such as the specific healthcare facility, the mother's health status, and any complications during the procedure. It is generally lower than the maternal mortality rate for vaginal deliveries but can still pose risks, especially in cases of emergency cesareans or inadequate medical care. It is important for healthcare providers to closely monitor and manage both routine and emergency cesarean sections to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.
