<< Was there are problem with a big baby? As a nurse the only time I have seen them make a T incision, was when they had difficulty with delivery of infants head through the Kerr (low transverse) uterine incision; Or if the infant was in a malposition or if it was an emergency for fetal distress. A Kerr incision is usually, but not always adequate. I am sure there are other reasons also, but I can't come up with them at this time. This inverted T uterine incision also probably has a name but I'm not gonna get that one to come to me right now. This should pose no problems with the pregnancy, but I'm not sure if you would qualify for a VBAC with this type of uterine incision. I would discuss this with your physician ahead of time. Hope this has been some help. Kathy >>

I did not see the original message on Uterine Scars but am interested in this topic. I had a T incision 5 years ago when I delivered my son and was told that I should never consider a VBAC because of possibility of rupturing. I am due to have a 2nd C-Section on 9/24 and am curious if the doctors agree that a C-Section is my only choice. Also, if I do go into labor should I head straight to the emergency room because the area is so vulnerable to rupture or am I not in that much danger. (I recently moved and live one and a half hours from the hospital that I am scheduled to deliver in - didn't want to change doctors this late. Amanda amandawbr@aol.com
