Maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with a trial of labor after prior cesarean delivery

Article Abstract:

Comparison of maternal and perinatal outcomes between women who underwent a trial of labor and women who had an elective repeated cesarean delivery without labor is presented. Although there are low absolute risks, a trial of labor after prior cesarean delivery is associated with a greater perinatal risk than is elective repeated cesarean delivery without labor.
