Title: Message

I would have to look for the research (we all know how 'fair' research can be!) but the stated contra-indicators for vbac is previous rupture.  Now it doesn't actually state if the chances of another rupture are higher than a normal scar or whether it is a case of "dam! Not going to let that happen again!" attitude.  You could argue I suppose that even a dehiscence that required repair would be considered the same as a repeat cs....??  Perhaps no vbac after one rupture/dehiscence would be based on fear and/or presumption.  Similar to the situation where a woman loses a baby during labour there is the assumption that she will want a cs next time.???   jo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janet Fraser Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 3:37 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: [ozmidwifery] VBAC after dehsicence or UR? Hi all, does anyone know of research on VB after UR? I was asked this:   So if you've had a scar come apart to the point where the baby was on its way out via the DIY sunroof, and the ob says he would have had to cut me open to stitch it up even if I had pushed the baby out, would that make VBA2C too risky?   Thanks in advance, J   Joyous Birth Home Birth Forum - a world first! http://www.joyousbirth.info/forums/   Attending births is like growing roses.
