  • Among the complications the study found in women who attempted a vaginal birth
    after prior Cesarean delivery were rupture of the uterus, infection of the
    uterine lining, lack of oxygen to the infant brain, and infant death. The
    study authors noted, however, that the risks of these complications were very low.
  • Uterine rupture is the most well known complication of attempted vaginal
    delivery after a prior Cesarean delivery.
  • In all, 17,898 of
    the women attempted a vaginal birth
  • Among the infants born to the women who attempted vaginal birth after a
    Cesarean, .08 percent (12) were diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy,
    a condition that may result from lack of oxygen to the baby's brain.
