According to the National Childbirth Trust “It is generally accepted that after a classical caesarean (a vertical incision) you are not eligible for future vaginal delivery. This is because of the slightly higher risk of uterine rupture.” 61 It is worth discussing this with your health professionals and Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) organisations may be able to offer you more specific advice.
