Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 VBAC has been studied to death. The " rupture " (i.e. dehiscence, window, true rupture) rates in this study are NO DIFFERENT from the studies twenty, thirty, forty years ago. The real reason doctors and hospitals don't want to do VBACs has nothing to do with risk. It's money and cobvenience, the same reasons they do unnecessary primary cesareans. And once ACOG said the doc had to stand by, that inconvenience put the nail in the coffin. And you can quote me.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I have seen this too...... are patients really explained the risks of having a c/sec when they elect to have another versus a trial of labor? I work in a teritary care hospital where we do 4,000-5,000 deliveries a year and uterine rupture is rare.... (1 every couple years if that) I too had a CPD baby and c/sec with my first. My second ended up 1 1/2 lbs heavier and resulted in a vbac."starjasmn@..." wrote: VBAC has been studied to death.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I know it's a rhetorical question, , but I thought the quote below fit right in with it: <<Posted by: " " I have seen this too...... are patients really explained the risks of having a c/sec when they elect to have another versus a trial of labor?>> " If one went to the extreme of giving the patient the full details of mortality and morbidity related to cesarean section, most of them would get up and go out and have their baby under a tree... " -Neel, J. Medicolegal pressure, MDs' lack of patience cited in cesarean 'epidemic.' Ob.Gyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
