Your chances of success are greater if:
1) You’ve only had one prior low transverse uterine incision, which is the most common cut for a C-section.
2) You’ve had a normal pregnancy, and the baby and mother are healthy.
3) Your prior C-section was based on a reason that is no longer valid, such as health at the time.
4) You go into natural labor before or on your due date.
5) You’ve previously had a successful vaginal delivery.
The odds of success are lower if:
1) You are overdue on your delivery date.
2) You have a large baby.
3) There are suspicions that there may be problems with the baby.
4) You’ve had more than two prior C-sections.
