VBAC's and catastrophic uterine rupture

[Guest guest]

This article, which concerns vaginal birth after caesarean gives evidence

that intervention with hormones or other labor inducing drugs increases the

risk of a catastophic rupture during labor. Rather than reject the use of

such drugs during labor, at least one doctor said he was against VBAC's now,

period. Thankfully, other obstetritions drew the more reasonable

conclusion, that such labor inducing drugs should be avoided during VBAC.
