Actually what I said is that *where I work* the C/s rate from IOL is hardly distinguishable from the total C/S rate. That's in a tertiary hospital. I don't know where this mother is planning to have her baby but I would hope the risk of C/S would be far lower in a peripheral hospital. Monica -

Kelly, a lot of this sounds “normal” even the clots, however as a decision is riding on her underlying condition, I would suggest scan to look at the scar area in particular and to see if there are any remnants left behind which could make her bleed. MM   – she had really bad af

Hi Kelly, Pain in the scar which persists in between contractions is a warning sign that the scar may actually be separating. Persistent pain afterwards could just be afterpains, but with bleeding in excess of normal might indicate that a scan would be necessary, particularly if the mum pla
