Comparative Study[Primary Cesarean section--what happens next time...?].
The aim of this study was to examine how often information about the best way of giving birth after a primary caesarean section was given and to describe the frequency of repeated caesarean section. ⋯ This study shows that less than half of the women had been informed about future delivery following a primary caesarean section. The rate of repeated caesarean sections varies with the indication of the primary caesarean. Improved information is suggested in order to avoid that women desist from further pregnancies because of uncertainty.
