unterine rupture??

edited July 2011 in Labor
Anyone experienced or know of anyone that's had a uterine rupture after trying a v-bac?? That's the risk of a vbac and it can be fatal for mom and baby? I was thinking about doing this cause I wanted to try natural but, just trying to see about other experiences. No negitivity please!

  • Spell check for title *UTERINE
  • I heard its 1% I think I'm going for a vbac too. Obviously not everyone it happens to dies. My doctor has said they will continually monitor my labour and they know signals which can indicate if it happens. The risk increases (although still only slightly) if inducing drugs are used so I have refused these
  • @littlenat86 how does dr feel about it? My dr is totally against it, which is the only thing I don't like about her! This will be ny 3rd baby and if I go thru with it my first natural labor! ! Idk what to do. I'm scared. :-(
  • Have you had two c-sections? My doctor positively encouraged it to be honest, shocked me a bit as I think c-sections are pushed out of easiness sometimes now. I also have other health problems so its not as straight forward as an ordinary vbac. How far along are you? Have you looked at other doctors in your area?
  • Yes I've had 2 cesareans 2yrs apart and now I'm 28wks with my 3rd baby. I thought about looking at other docs but didn't cause I like my doc, and am comfortable with her, besides this. Huhh boggled brain right now!!

  • @homebirthadvocate thanks for ur response as well!! I heard u know ur stuff lol. Are u a nurse? And I've heard about the pitocin as well, as it is associated with csections. My doc wants me to sign paperwork saying she won't be liable for any problems if I choose vbac! Oh and even though I've never delivered vaginally and on my 3rd baby now u still think I would be ok??

  • I was not induced i went into started having contractions on a Sunday morn although they did give me pitocin to help move things along it still didn't help I was still dilated at only five. So on that Tuesday morn at 2 am they gave me an emergency csection after they broke my water and gave me an infection from that as well!
