We have previously discussed the problematic studies behind the 4-9% uterine rupture statistic associated with vaginal birth after a classical or T/J cesarean.
Given the limited data available on these scar types, how should people who have had …

I have to say this is true for the whole “eat their young” culture that exists among nurses, midwives, surgical techs, and physicians.
