Achieving a successful vaginal birth after caesarean delivery is wanted but risky. This study aimed to estimate the rate of successful vaginal delivery after caesarean section in Al-Bayda Medical Center and associated factors. A case series study included a review of records of women with previous caesarean deliveries who underwent a trial of vaginal birth in Al-Bayda medical center during the years 2023/ 2024. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 23.0. A success rate of 13.7% with statistically significant favorability of older age, higher parity, and gravidity. No statistically significant differences were found regarding baby size. Labor should be tried in mothers with a previous caesarean regardless of previous history, with careful individual evaluation of the case. Further well-designed research is recommended.
