Elective repeat cesarean can prevent complete uterine rupture at the second delivery, whereas the risk of severe obstetric hemorrhage, abnormally invasive placenta and peripartum hysterectomy is unchanged by the intended mode of second delivery in women with a first cesarean. Women with a first elective vs. an emergency cesarean have an increased risk of severe complications in the second pregnancy.
