OB/GYN: Roy Pitkin, M.D.
My first child was delivered by cesarean section because he never descended through the birth canal. What are the chances of my delivering vaginally with my next child?
By Roy Pitkin, M.D.
In situations such as yours (first labor complicated by failure to progress), carefully supervised labor with the next pregnancy will result in a healthy baby being born vaginally to a healthy mother in 60 to 65 percent of cases. In the remaining 35 to 40 percent of cases, labor will not progress normally and it will be necessary to do another cesarean.
