What are the contraindications for a patient wanting to have a TOLAC?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A rationaleHistory of uterine rupture poses a significant risk for a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) due to the potential recurrence of uterine rupture, which can be life-threatening for both mother and fetus.Choice B rationalePrevious cesarean section for breech presentation is not a contraindication for TOLAC. Patients with prior cesarean deliveries can consider TOLAC if there are no additional risk factors.Choice C rationalePrevious low transverse cesarean section birth is often considered suitable for TOLAC, as the lower segment incision has a lower risk of rupture compared to vertical or classical incisions.Choice D rationaleLow-risk pregnancy alone is not a contraindication for TOLAC. It is essential to assess other factors such as uterine scarring, maternal health, and fetal status when considering TOLAC eligibility.
