Vaginal birth after C-Section: is it as safe as a repeat C-Section?
NCT ID NCT05439733
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at women who have had one cesarean section and are now deciding how to give birth again: trying a vaginal delivery (TOLAC) or scheduling another C-section (ERCD). The goal is to compare the safety of both options for the baby and the mother. Researchers will follow a large group of women in France and collect information through questionnaires after delivery to see if TOLAC is as safe as ERCD.

- Active substance
- Questionnaire completion
- What this could lead to
- If TOLAC is shown to be as safe as ERCD, more women might choose it, potentially reducing repeat surgeries and their long-term risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by unmeasured factors, and individual risks vary.
