French term
accouchement par voie vaginale basse
French to English
Medical
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
This is from a case study on pharmaceutical care in obstetrics-gynecology. Below is the sentence for context:
Mme X est hospitalisée pour un accouchement par voie vaginale basse à 38 SG et cinq jours.
I know that "accouchement par voie vaginale" is a "vaginal delivery" but I'm not clear on the term "basse" here. I also found "accouchement par voie basse" means "vaginal delivery" so I'm not sure why this sentence has both.
Thanks in advance for any help!

: So using both terms in the same sentence isn't necessary?

I do not think so, as they have the same meaning. Thank you Jenny and have a good day!

: Delivery from below and maybe stressing vaginal to push the point!
AVB is the abbreviation used in medical records for a vaginal delivery.
