Is It Safe To Go For Vaginal Delivery After A C- Section?
Hello doc, am 34 yrs old, 5.4", weight 66 kgs, now 28 weeks pregnant for second time. First was a C section, reason being delayed first phase, he was 2.75 kgs when born, now he is 5 yrs old. Is it possible to try for normal delivery (VBAC) or C section is the only option. Also to mention I have been tested HBSaG positive this time, which doc says is inactive. My hubby n son are negative. Pls advice.
