Suzanna should be aware that having a natural delivery after a previous C-section carries a very small risk of uterine rupture. This information may affect her decision to have a C-section or not. The other options presented are not entirely accurate - while the World Health Organization has expressed concerns over high rates of unnecessary C-sections, they still recognize the procedure as safe and lifesaving when necessary. C-sections do not necessarily improve mortality statistics and can carry risks for both mother and child. And while recovery time may vary between natural delivery and C-sections, there is no clear consensus on which is always faster.
