Reviewers commentary on Meeting the challenge of maternal choice in mode of delivery with vaginal birth after caesarean section: A medical, legal and ethical commentary

摘要

Given the current caesarean rates in essentially every jurisdiction where BJOG is circulated, it would seem safe to assume that all obstetric practitioners have deall with differences of opinion about patient preference regarding trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC). Unconventional birth plans can present with seemingly endless combinations of requests but need to be distinguished from risky birth plans. A water birth in a referral centre might be considered unconventional but is certainly less risky than an intentional home birth in a rural setting during a blizzard.
