If you had your baby by cesarean birth (sometimes called “cesarean delivery”, “c-section”, or “CS”), you can still have a vaginal birth in your next pregnancy (called a Trial of Labour after Cesarean [TOLAC]). This pamphlet explains what makes a TOLAC safe and successful, and the benefits and risks of a TOLAC.  

This pamphlet is also available in French: FF85-1891
