Hi All,
The full article is available at:

The important point is in their conclusion - "Caesarean section in a first
pregnancy confers additional risks on the second pregnancy, primarily
associated with labour. These should be considered at the time caesarean
section in the first pregnancy is being considered, particularly for
elective caesarean section for non-medical reasons."
This study just confirms what we already know - that unneccessary elective
C/S's should be avoided!

This is in today's Sydney Morning Herald. No doubt this report will trigger
furious debate (as it should) but let's try an get the focus on the first
caesarean, not the possible risks with VBAC.
These figures for first caesareans are shocking - higher that the USA!
