Description
Maayan Maor and co-authors compare labor speed in women giving vaginal birth after a prior cesarean in a 2025 study. More cesareans worldwide mean more women face this choice, yet how their labor progresses was unclear. The team compared first vaginal births after cesarean with first-ever vaginal births.
Records from one medical center over ten years covered nearly fourteen thousand first-time mothers and 736 women in the after-cesarean group. The after-cesarean group opened the cervix faster in active labor and had a shorter second stage. Long second stages were less common in that group, and adjusted analysis confirmed the link. The authors say these patterns can guide care during labor for such patients.
