[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember reading an article about how you can measure the size of the scar right before birth and it can indicate the likelihood of rupture. I think it was more of a standard practice in europe. [/quote] I've heard this as well-- apparently you can do an ultrasound to measure the thickness of the scar, as is apparenly standard practice in Europe. I was concerned about my own possibility of rupture when attempting a VBAC and it was recommended to me by an OB that if I was particularly concerned, I could ask for a perientologist (?) to check my scar toward the end of my pregnancy (when it was very stretched out, but before I was likely to give birth). It's weird to me that given the relative safety of VBACs over Csections that this isn't a standard test that is rec'd and that can be used by women who are learning toward making a decision (to VBAC or have a repeat C) in either direction.
