First child delivered vaginally, can the second child also be delivered this way?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It's possible to have a natural birth as long as the child isn't too big, and the birth canal, fetal position, and labor force are normal. I had a C-section for my first child and waited four years before having my second child naturally. It took over three hours to deliver the baby, and the baby is very healthy and adorable. It's much better than a C-section.
