I’m interested in pursuing a vaginal delivery rather than a cesarean section. What are it’s potential risks and considerations??

Dear Laura Wayne, thank you for asking a very important question. Pursuing a vaginal delivery will of course always be the prefered option unless there is an obstetric or a medical reason to perform a caesarean section. Your obstetrician should be able to advice on the safest options of delivery. If there are no obstetric reasons for a caesarean section, vaginally delivery is always prefered. Caesarean sections are four times riskier, with a higher risk of bleeding, infections and event developing clots or DVT. It is also more painful, not to forget that it takes a longer time to recover it also associated with a longer hospital stay. Having a caesarean section also makes your pregnancy a higher risk in future pregnancies. Hence, it is only advisable if there is a strong reason or real benefit to have a caesarean section. Vagina delivery is often the prefered option unless in certain conditions.
