Women who have already delivered a baby via C-section are offered options for C-section or vaginal delivery during their next childbirth experience. Most women who have undergone a C-section delivery often wonder is there any chance of normal delivery after C Section. Although the answer is yes, this does not hold for every woman. About sixty to eighty percent of women who have had a previous C-section experience tend to have a successful vaginal delivery. However, women who have a high-risk uterine scar are not encouraged to opt for a vaginal delivery. Hospitals that are not ready for an emergency C-section delivery also do not offer a vaginal delivery option to women who have had a C-section earlier.
