Conclusion
Mode of labour onset, cervical dilatation, station of the vertex, and Bishop’s score at admission significantly influenced the TOLAC outcome in the study population. TOLAC can be considered a safe option for women with a previous caesarean when combined with vigilant and stringent labour monitoring, despite the use of IOL agents. These results can help obstetricians make better decisions regarding the mode of delivery in women with previous caesareans, keeping in mind the demographics of Indian women. None of the previously done studies on outcomes following TOLAC assessed cervical effacement, station of vertex and Bishop’s score at admission as potential influencing variables for TOLAC success.
