Four hours after cesarean birth of a neonate weighing 4,000 g (8 lb, 13 oz), the primiparous client asks, “If I get pregnant again, will I need to have a cesarean?” When responding to the client, the nurse should base the response to the client about vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) on which of the following?
1. VBAC may be possible if the client has not had a classic uterine incision.
2. A history of rapid labor is a necessary criterion for VBAC.
3. A low transverse incision contraindicates the possibility for VBAC.
4. VBAC is not possible because the neonate was large for gestational age.
