Abstract

Aims & Objectives: To find out the predictors of spontaneous term vaginal birth after a previous one lower segment caesarean delivery.
Materials & Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, SMS Medical College, and Jaipur from March 2015 to October 2016. 120 pregnant women with a history of one previous Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) were enrolled in the study.
Results: In our study, 60% cases had a successful Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) and 40% underwent a repeat emergency LSCS for failed trial of labour after caesarean section. Anterior position of cervix, cervical dilatation ≥ 3cm, effacement ≥ 60-70%, vertex position at or below the ischial spine at the time of admission in labour room were significant factor in favoring a successful VBAC. The incidence of scar dehiscence was 5.83%. There was no maternal or neonatal mortality.
Conclusion: Trial of labour after caesarean section (TOLAC) can be given in selected cases with good monitoring of Fetal heart sound (FHS) and progress of labour under supervision of trained staff at a tertiary care hospital.
