Hello and welcome Rajiv,

Yes it is possible to have a normal delivery after cesarean section.
However it all depends upon the babies position, its condition, other complicating factors, babies size, amount of amniotic fluid and size of the pelvis of the mother. If evreything is favorable then a normal vaginal delivery may be attempted. But in any case irrespective of the history of cesarean sections or not, a vaginal delivery cannot be guaranteed as there are many complications that may arise during labor.

Also I must add that there is a small risk of the uterus getting ruptured and occurence of excessive bleeding while attempting VBAC [ vaginal birth after cesarean section]. So keep this possibility in mind.

I suggest that you discuss with all this with your doctor and she will be ablet o guide you well.

Take care and best wishes from me.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
