>Thanks for such a prompt response! Unfortunately, it created more questions. I guess I need baby steps. Are you saying my uterus didn't heal properly, remained split (any or all of the incision)and is closed over with scar tissue only? Can it be safe to be pregnant with a uterus that is already ruptured? As it grows will the scar tissue grow as well and will it hold? I would definitely have a repeat section, but how can a uterus that is not whole hold a growing baby? Would my uterus continue to split as it grows since it is technically split already? And how does the placement of the placental attachment figure in? What does this mean regarding my safety and that of my baby. What happens if the scar splits while I'm pregnant? Thanks again. Laurie

Does scar tissue stretch or grow as my uterus grows? Does scar tissue shrink? My ob/gyn said he has never seen anything like it before. Thanks! Laurie
