What is the risk of uterine rupture during a labor after two cesareans?
So often, we hear the risk is 0.9 - 1.8%. But that doesn’t tell the whole picture.
The truth is, those numbers are based on studies in which 49 - 65% of labors were induced or augmented.
As we know, induction and augmentation has been associated with increased uterine rupture rates.
So it’s quite likely that the risk of uterine rupture during a non-induced or augmented labor after two cesareans may be significantly lower.
This is why it’s so important to understand what the research says.
Sometimes vital pieces of information are lost as statistics are simplified and shared.
