When these scars are known or detected, they should raise immediate concerns about the likelihood of a uterine rupture.<\/p>\n Some of the most common signs of a uterine rupture include:<\/p>\n In the worst case scenarios, a uterine rupture could cause fatal injuries to the mother or the child. When the injuries are not fatal, babies can still suffer such injuries as:<\/p>\n Proving a uterine rupture case can be exceptionally challenging because many of the symptoms are not specific. Doctors need to know how to identify these injuries as soon as possible and order the proper treatment required in such cases to preserve the health of both the mother and the child.<\/p>\n Causes of uterine rupture include uterine overdistention or overdistended uterus, which involves a uterus being larger than normal because of too much amniotic fluid or a large baby. Multifetal pregnancy, which is the presence of more than one fetus (such as twins or triplets), and polyhydramnios, which involves excess accumulation of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby in the uterus during pregnancy, can also be common causes. Excessive use of uterotonics, external or internal fetal version (also known as external cephalic version) and failure to identify labor dystocia can also be causes of uterine rupture.<\/p>\n Uterine ruptures are commonly treated with immediate laparotomy with cesarean delivery and, if necessary, hysterectomy. Additional critical care may also be administered to ensure an infant has enough oxygen. When a rupture results in severe blood loss, blood transfusions can be required and the uterus may need to be removed. Following such procedures, women can no longer become pregnant.<\/p>\n The surest way to prevent a uterine rupture is to have a C-section delivery. Uterine ruptures cannot be fully prevented when women try to have vaginal births, especially VBACs. If you want to have a vaginal birth after having previously had a C-section delivery, you are going to need work closely with your doctor to minimize your chances of a uterine rupture. It is even better if the doctor who will be handling your vaginal delivery is the same one who performed your Cesarean delivery.<\/p>\nDo I Need A Uterine Rupture Lawyer?<\/h2>\n
