Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Kate, I was talking to a colleague today about her " high risk " status as an intended VBAC (btw Angi, she'd just been to the VBAC workshop conference type thingy at the Wessex - have you gone to one of those?) and the stats show that ruptures are equally common amongst women who have not had caesarians as those who have. Anneliese and Toddler Tim re: Risk of uterine rupture after CS Kate, Lots of people here will reassure you and support you over the next few months but here isa quick link for you to look at http://www.childbirth.org/section/VBACFAQ.html Caroline Jersey > > Hi, can anyone offer me some reassurance please?! I read a horrible article in the Guardian last week about the risk of uterine rupture. The article was written in a very scaremongering way - started by saying " Your baby could die or be brain damaged ... you could end up having a hysterectomy etc etc " Although hidden amongst all the hype there were some reassuring stastistics, I have still been left feeling very worried. I am fifteen weeks pregnant, and had a horrible experience last time, what with an induction, foetal distress and an emergency section. And now I feel I have something else to panic over! > > Also has anyone got any experience of a good birth experience after a previous CS? > TIA Kate, mum to Jake 26 months.
