No, not if those are not your facts.
Searching the forums, I found that your question was asked on 5-26-2010 (see https://www.aapc.com/memberarea/forums/showthread.php?t=36455&highlight=failed+vaginal+delivery).
The conclusion, there, was that you only code the successful procedure. From that, I take it you would use 59410 (Routine obstetric care including antepartum care, cesarean delivery, and postpartum care) if the vaginal delivery (if it had worked) would ahve been coded 59400.
