First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tested whether membrane sweeping (a gentle exam to separate the amniotic sac from the cervix) can help start labor and lead to a successful vaginal birth in women who have had one previous C-section. The trial included 384 women who were willing to try vaginal birth after a C-section. The goal was to see if this simple procedure could reduce the need for another C-section.
