Is it safe for women with a history of two cesarean deliveries to undergo a vaginal delivery attempt in comparison to patient with a history of one cesarean delivery?
In the context of patient autonomy regarding the timing of delivery, offering the patient the choice of different delivery modes after two previous cesareans appears to be safe with respect to maternal and fetal risks. An individualized consultation and thorough counseling are essential, but the opportunity for different delivery options should be respected and supported.
