I had a uterine rupture during my last pregnancy. The rupture was of my old csection scar. Anyhow, I was wondering how long or what would be a good amount of time to wait to try for another pregnancy? I lost my first baby and always wanted my children to be close in age.
Hi Lisagood... generally it is recommended to wait at least a year between pregnancies. Many feel that two years would be best after having had a c-section. Of course things don't always work out that way and women do become pregnant sooner.
Have a visit with your doctor to discuss what he/she is most comfortable with from his/her own experience.
Hi,
I also had uterin repture - in August 2011(laparoscopy in April 2010 where my uterus was scared, got pregnant in December 2010) I had rupture without contractions and miraculously and with professional docs team, me and my son survived and are bp.
I wish to have one more child, but don't know if this s possible or if I should get pregnant again.
If there is somebody outhere, sharing similar experience and got pregnant again? Please share your story. I would like to know what was pregnancy after rupture like. Was everything OK... etc.
Dear DoulaLC,
Maybe you could help with your experiences...
Please, please, please

Best to talk it over with your doctor, discuss the pros and cons, and how best to lower any risk.
Hi everyone, I am new to this so thought I would introduce myself and as you ladies for a bit of advice while doing so...
I have two children one nearly 12, brilliant pregnancy no sickness or anything... then came the birth. I was left to go over my due date by 10 days then I was taken into hospital to start my labour. After 3 days of being in agony, front or back waters broke on their own (I know one of them had to be broken for me), 4cm dialated and ended up having amergancy caesarean! 9lb 4oz baby and blood transfusion later in absoulute agony. Further complications lead me to be taken back to hospital with a severe infection because I was left with some of the placenta still in my womb which they failed to remove fully. Which lead me to being anemic which isn't the best with rare blood types.
Second exactly the same, brilliant pregnancy, awfull labour 9cm dialated 9lb (yes 9cm) baby. Only this time my baby's heart rate started to slow down so they had to place something on his head to moniter his hearbeat while he was still in my womb. This was probably due to an even further complication as then my uterus ruptured. My baby was born with jaundice so was hard to feed him. Along with all the other complications and more blood transfusions, wires all over the place, tubes draining blood etc..
I swore I would never have anymore children...
8 years later I am married and we want another child, 6 months later still no pregnancy. I always knew that my uterus had ruptured and never really thought anything of it, up until last week when I though I would do some research about it and I did not like what I was reading at all. And has now put the fear of god in me and I am worrying about the risks that could come with a further pregnancy.
Has anyone else ever had any of this happen to them, more importantly has anyone's uterus ever ruptured and you have gone on to have further pregnancys and what proceedures have the doctors taken or does anyone have any information on this that you think may be helpful or put my mind at ease, be cruel to be kind I don't mind hearing your stories I just want to be sure that I make the right decission before putting a baby's life or mine at risk.
Thank you in advance to anyone that replies.
