    pregnancy after a uterine rupture

    I'm a bit scared to ask but I've been researching and all I can come up with is statistics - which of course are going to do my head in.

    Does anyone have any info on it?
    On management even?

    I've had one (a rupture) and now I'm a little worried after an.....incident
    AF hasn't returned and I've had some weird feelings.

    Kim, my OB was happy for me to go for one more baby and she would support me through the pregnancy but she wanted to do a c/s at 38w so as not to put the uterus under too much pressure. I would have to be managed much more closely than previously but she seemed to be happy that her "repair job" would hold out for another one.

    Oooh honey I have no idea because I haven't researched it - but I hope the odds are good for a full term pregnancy after rupture

    One of our ex members had a rupture & sadly her little man passed away, but she then went on to have twins a few years later, I think with no issues. I am pretty sure they were a c/s birth too.

    Ooh I just remembered - Nikki who had a rupture during her vbac and unfortunately lost her little girl - she went on to have another baby - I don't think there was a long time between births either? I'd have to search the forum to find out.

    ETA - bout 2 years was the gap
