Can I have a natural birth after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Doctor! I am 27 years old now, and I am 20 weeks pregnant. This is my second child. The first time, I decided on a cesarean section because the fetus was in the wrong position. But I want this child to be delivered naturally. Can I have a natural birth after a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you are currently pregnant with your second child, and you are 20 weeks along. Your first child was delivered via cesarean section due to abnormal ( means abnormal, which is redundant in English, so it's just "abnormal"). After the cesarean section, there is still a chance for the second child to be delivered vaginally. If the second child reaches full term, the main is normal, and it is not a macrosomic infant, the likelihood of a vaginal delivery is very high. At 20 weeks pregnant, it is important to undergo a comprehensive 4D ultrasound screening to understand if the fetus has any abnormalities.
