VBAC, Three previous CS.

A woman who has had three previous caesarian deliveries, the first following failure to progress in labour with an occipito posterior position in labour induced at term for hypertension and the other two elective, wishes to attempt a vaginal delivery. Xray pelvimetry after her first showed an android pelvis, with a 9cm interspinous diameter and a subpubic angle of 68degrees. To what level of risk is she exposing herself and her child? Is her ambition reasonable?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
