Per a study, women planning a vaginal birth after cesarean section have a higher risk of pelvic floor surgery than those who plan another cesarean.
Women may prefer vaginal birth for a natural experience and faster recovery. At the same time, some opt for a repeat cesarean due to safety concerns such as uterine rupture or medical conditions that make vaginal delivery unsafe.
