STUDY EXAMINES VBAC AFTER TWINS

New findings published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology examine
vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) for women who have previously delivered
twins. The study suggests that women who have undergone c-section delivery
with two or more infants can usually give birth naturally in future
"singleton" births. It compared the outcome of single-infant pregnancies
among 944 women who had one prior c-section for a multi-infant pregnancy to
the pregnancy outcome of 28,329 women who had experienced one prior
c-section for a single-infant pregnancy. Newborns of mothers who previously
had a multiple-pregnancy c-section had high trial of labor success rates and
low complication rates. For the abstract, go to
