I was wondering what the risk of vaginal birth after a previous uterine rupture or a uterine vein rupture. And would a pregnancy hold the most risk after a previos rupture. I tried searching but didn't really see anything about this. Is the treatment a hysterectomy?

I am holding a meeting tomorrow about the pros and cons of VBAC and a support group for the women in my area. I just want to make sure I have all my bases covered, yk.

Women can give birth by the action of their own bodies, as animals do. Women can enjoy the process of birth and add to their dignity by being educated to follow the example set by instinctive animals. Women can take joy and pleasure for the privilege of being women and bless God for being able to give birth, instead of showing snarling hostility toward the men who love them." page 20

We have created our own mythology of birth. The drama of this myth is in the medical emergency, the speeding ambulance, the urgent bleep, the staccato calls for assistance, the struggles of a team of doctors and nurses to combat death…It is a drama that feeds the fears inherent in the medical model of birth and, in this way, further conditions pregnant women to submit to its ritual.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
