VBAC can be done if the need for the primary cesarean section was based on factors other than cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) and macrosomia. A client who has had a prior classic incision into the uterus is not a candidate for this type of procedure. Based on the presented history of a cesarean section for labor dystocia during second stage with birth of newborns who weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces, and 9 pounds, respectively, this client is at risk for uterine rupture and for delivering another macrosomic infant because she has already had two cesarean sections for the same indications. A client who wants to have a scheduled cesarean section rather than go through the process of labor because she is very fearful of the pain associated with childbirth is not a candidate for a VBAC because she does not meet the clinical criteria.
