Uterine Rupture and HysterectomyFrom: Ed (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 26 Jul 2000 17:04:05 -0500 (CDT)
Hello. My wife recently gave birth to our only child. Her due date was July 15th and he was born on the 17th. She was told 3 weeks earlier that the baby was going to be 9 lbs 8 ounces. So the doctors did 2 sonograms one saying 6 lbs 11 ounces and the other 7 lbs 5 ounces. She we felt there was no reason for alarm so we continued as usual. When she went into labor and dialated to 10 cm she started pushing. She pushed for 2 hours and the baby didn't move. The doctor then went for a c/s. After the c/s in recovery my wife started passing enormous amounts of blood vaginally. The doctor had left and counldn't be found for an hour and a half while my wife was bleeding almost to death. After he returned they decided that a hysterectomy was inevidable much to all of our chagrin. The doctor told us that because of the size of the baby it caused her uterus to elasticate and unable to stop her from bleeding. I feel that pushing for too long during labor may have caused her uterus to rupture. Is this a possible senario? Or the possiblity that she bled for so long after her c/s (1.5 hrs)caused her uterus to hemmorage beyond repair. I am very unsure and would like some education on the subject. Thank you Respectfully, Edward Egan
