How Do Previous Cesarean Sections Impact Future Pregnancies?
One of the primary concerns is the effect of previous cesarean sections on future pregnancies. Women with a prior C-section are often advised to consider a repeat cesarean or a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC). The success rates and safety of TOLAC versus elective repeat cesarean sections (ERCS) are critical areas of epidemiological research. These studies help in identifying the best practices and minimizing adverse outcomes for mothers and infants.
