Can a natural birth be delayed?

Patient's question:

Because I was born as the second child and the third child was born via C-section, and now I'm pregnant with my fourth child, can I have a natural birth? My due date has already passed by six days.

Doctor's answer:

It is determined by three factors: uterine power, birth canal, and fetal position. Normal uterine power, a wide enough birth canal, and a normal fetal position are required. The mother should not have high blood pressure, diabetes, or other issues to be able to give birth naturally. Cesarean section is a serious condition, and patients should receive immediate treatment as advised by the doctor, hoping they can be treated according to the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition. Strengthen physical fitness and pay attention to rest.
