I need help finding some statistics

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hi guys ,

I need help finding some numbers .

I am currently pregnant and I had 2 c/s , 2 natural deliveries and then another c/s due to fetal heart problems , my scar gave me no problems whatsoever , ever . 

Now , my question , I have read , that the rupture risk decreases with every successful vbac after c/s  , but what about women , who had c/s first , then vbacs , then another c/s ?

Do they "lose" their decreased-risk bonus or is there still a better chance , that your rupture risk is smaller than that of women w/out previous vbacs ? 

Anything pointing me in the right direction of studies about that , would be great !

In general, women with a previous vaginal delivery have a decreased risk of UR.  I'm just not sure about c-sections followed by VBACs followed by c-sections followed by VBACs.  That is a pretty specific scenario (I'm c-s, VBAC, c-s so I'd love to know as well).  The only thing I could find was references on this page:  http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/275854-overview  If you scroll about 1/3 way down, it has a paragraph  headed "Previous cesarean delivery with previous successful vaginal delivery"
