yes, usually your doctor will give you the choice of either vaginal or csection unless there are any other reasons to do the csection, if you opt for the section it is usually done over the same scar and after healing it is only one scar. Each case ifs different

Typically women can have successful vaginal births after C-sections. They're referred to as V-BACs. Find an OBGYN who is confident that they can help you realize your dream of having a vaginal birth. Some OBGYN's refuse to, and think they're dangerous, but they are out there!

In a lot of cases it's possible. Your doctor will tell you if he thinks that it's a safe course of action. Some people just aren't healed enough to give birth vaginally and they have to have a second C-Section.

Yes you can have a natural birth after a c-section. This is relatively new but it can be successful. If there are any complications they would perform another c-section.
