Uterine Rupture Birth Injury Lawyers and Attorneys in New York City
Uterine rupture refers to the tearing of the uterus during labor. When the uterus ruptures, the fetus, placenta and other substances can enter the abdominal cavity. Mothers who have previously had Caesarean section births are at greater risk for uterine rupture when delivering vaginally. Consequently, mothers who choose a vaginal birth after a Caesarean (VBAC) should be informed of the potential risks. Mothers who have had five or more full-term pregnancies or mothers who are carrying multiple fetuses also are at greater risk for uterine rupture. Other potential risks that could lead to uterine rupture include overstimulation of the uterus caused by excessive use of pitocin.
Obstetricians must be aware of the warning signs of uterine rupture and must be prepared to take immediate action in this event. The rupture of the uterus can have devastating, if not fatal consequences to both mother and child. The fetus can suffer hypoxia, anoxia, or death. The mother can suffer extreme blood loss, shock and even die.
