Abstract:
Caesarean section is one of the commonest operations performed on childbearing women, with rates continuing to rise worldwide. Previous caesarean delivery is one of the most common indications for repeat caesarean delivery. One of the strategies proposed to reduce the rate of caesarean section is Trial of Labour (TOL). For women who have had a previous caesarean, choice for mode of birth in their next pregnancy is either a Trial of Labour after Caesarean (TOLAC) or an Elective Repeat Caesarean Section (ERCS).. Both ERCS and trial of labour have benefits and harms. The risks of TOL when compared with ERCS include haemorrhage, need for blood transfusion, endometritis, uterine rupture, perinatal death, and hypoxic is chaemic encephalopathy
