Talk:Delivery after previous caesarean section

Merge
The text is identical to the section in the caesarean section article. This article is redundant. -Juansmith 22:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I restored this article and have begun expanding it. — Reinyday, 21:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reinyday (talk • contribs)

I have deleted the section on the incision for caesarian section. It seems to conflate the incision in the abdominal wall with the one made in the uterus. It is also misleading in its reference to to the strength of the scar after a lower-segment C section. This scar is safer than the scar of a classic C section because of its location, but it is still a weakpoint in the uterine wall. I have deleted some sentences which seem to advocate VBAC. The decision to try or not to try a VBAC is a serious one, those offering advice to the lay readers who are likely to read this page should offer factual information rather than opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kigongos (talk • contribs) 14:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Sigh more pov people.Geni 21:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to edit (due to insufficient knowledge), but this all seems very specific (particularly in terminology) to US medical practice, and I suspect that there are significant geographical variations. Purely anecdotally (I witnessed the VBAC delivery of my daughter last week) the UK NHS seems much more relaxed about VBAC than the attitudes implied by the general tone of this article.

This article has multiple issues, including mislabeled lists, disorganization, and an extremely lengthy introductory section before the table of contents. Discussion on its formatting and necessity should be reopen. I tagged it as needing cleanup. 76.21.201.31 (talk) 19:16, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I tried to do some clean up this morning. Basically, there were several things presented as hard fact that don't represent the official recommendations of the NIH, ACOG, CDC, etc., relating to labor induction, uterine scar thickness measurement, VBAC pregnancy post-due date, etc. There were two separate history/trend-related sections, so I tried to consolidate them and back it up with statistics and to highlight that there is one scientific paper accepted to have served as the entire turning point in VBAC access in 1996. I also tried to clarify and reference eligibility criteria and management strategies and mention that they are not identical across all providers and facilities. Basically, people should be able to read this article and get a good overview of VBAC facts with references and not be misled into thinking certain criteria are set in stone.ScienceGalKK (talk) 15:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Confusing
The article states that VBAC is incredibly risky and declining, while simultaneously hinting it might be safe. NPOV is one thing, but this is just weaseling out of the controversy.128.97.244.205 (talk) 03:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hopefully, the edits have clarified that VBAC is not actually risky, that it has one risk (uterine rupture) and is actually a recommended and acceptable way of birth for most women with previous cesareans despite some roadblocks put in place by hospitals. In reality, there IS a disconnect between how safe VBAC is considered by medical experts (pretty safe) and how it is seen by many hospitals and some in the public (unsafe).

Virus in external link
One of the first 3 links gave me a virus so I deleted all three:
 * www.(vbac.com) A user friendly website that guides women through what a VBAC is and holds a large amount of information and resources for women in all stages of learning about VBAC.
 * www.(doulamatch.net) A website that can help women find a doula in their area, as well as read reviews about them.
 * www.(dona.org)/mothers/find_a_doula.php A website that can also help women find a doula, as well as offering a large amount of helpful information on what a doula is and what they do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.166.194.10 (talk) 22:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:00, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Vaginal birth after caesarean → Delivery after previous Caesarean section – The article is practically about whether to aim for a vaginal birth after previous Caesarean, or to perform an elective repeat Caesarean section. Hence, the current naming is not as wp:NPOV as it can be. There is currently no clear place to add information about elective repeat Caesarean section, and it would be redundant to have another article comparing the two choices, since we already have that in both Vaginal birth after caesarean and Caesarean section. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:04, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support If this article were renamed, then it could be the right place to put all kinds of information about birth after Caesarean sections. I think that many readers would want to see all of the options here, and right now, Wikipedia only talks about one option here with no obvious place to find information about the circumstances under which c-section after a c-section is necessary.

Comments after rewriting what was already given here
I removed the following sentence because it doesn't say what situation it is compared to: I also removed the following sentence, because it is essential to compare ERCS with intention to perform VBAC, because if you leave out those who end up with a Caesarean anyway, including ones done in emergency, you'll inevitably make VBAC look more favorable: The following sentence does not really belong in this article, but in the general Caesarean section article: Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The risk of post-operative infection doubles if vaginal delivery is attempted but results in another Caesarean.
 * The benefits of VBAC are associated with avoiding the risks of major abdominal surgery. Compared to women who have elective repeat cesarean deliveries, women who undergo VBAC, have smaller risks of hemorrhage and infection and have faster recovery times.
 * In the past, Caesarean sections used a vertical incision which cut the uterine muscle fibres in an up and down direction (a classical Caesarean). Modern Caesareans typically involve a horizontal incision along the muscle fibres in the lower portion of the uterus (hence the term lower uterine segment Caesarean section). The uterus then better maintains its integrity and can tolerate the strong contractions of future childbirth. Cosmetically, the scar for modern Caesareans is below the "bikini line".
