Hello, I don't think that your age would necessarily put you in the 'high risk' category, but I think it means that you are at an increased risk of certain factors. The issue is more your previous CS: you would either be a VBAC or repeat CS candidate, which I think means that, for example, you would need to give birth in hospital rather than a midwife-led unit ... I think this is the case, anyway, please someone correct me if I'm wrong!

I think most hospitals will put you under consultant care. A couple more appointments. They will want to discuss VBAC v elcs with you.
