The patient demonstrates understanding of the implications for future pregnancies secondary to her classic uterine incision when she states:
1. "The next time I have a baby, I can try to deliver vaginally."
2. "The risk of rupturing my uterus is too high for me to have any more babies."
3. "Every time I have a baby, I will have to have a cesarean delivery."
4. "I can only have one more baby."
3
Rationale 1: This patient will not be able to deliver vaginally in future pregnancies.
Rationale 2: There could be a risk if the patient were allowed to labor with the next pregnancy.
Rationale 3: A classic uterine incision is made in the upper uterine segment and is associated with an increased risk of rupture in subsequent pregnancy, labor, and birth. Therefore, subsequent deliveries will be done by cesarean.
Rationale 4: The number of subsequent pregnancies is not limited to one.
