Key Points Question Is cesarean delivery at first childbirth associated with a lower rate of subsequent conception compared with vaginal delivery? Findings In this cohort study of 2423 women, first childbirth by cesarean delivery was associated with a lower rate of conception after unprotected intercourse when compared with conception rates of women after vaginal delivery. These results remained significant after controlling for relevant covariates. Meaning These findings suggest that women who deliver their first child by cesarean delivery may be less likely to conceive a second child in the 3 years following first delivery than women who deliver their first child vaginally.
