C-sections and pregnancy history

Why we ask how many deliveries you've had and how many were C-sections.

Programs usually ask about total deliveries, how many were vaginal, and how many were C-sections, because clinics have protocols about prior uterine surgeries.

Many programs list a maximum number of prior C-sections. That number is not the same everywhere.

Time since your most recent delivery also matters — many programs ask for a postpartum waiting period.

Answering honestly helps us avoid showing you programs that would rule your profile out later in screening.
