Default Ultrasound of lower uterine segment (scar)

"Chotii" wrote in message . ..
Had my scan today. In theory, it should have been done at 37 weeks, and I'm
well past that now, but the doctor reassured me that there's no such thing
as too late. So she worked me in 'asap' and thank heavens, my scar measures
8-9mm thick consistently across its entire width. Since the risk of rupture
is considered minimal with any thickness greater than 4.5mm, I'd say I have
very little to worry about. Whew!

Just for a bit of background info, my original scar was found to be 'paper
thin' at the c/s delivery of my twins. I would have stood a greater chance
of rupture if I had attempted to labor with that. And because of that, my
doctor and I wanted to rule out that risk as I approach my attempt to VBA2C.

So glad to hear this good news. It looks like you haven't been in
here for a day or two, so maybe you are busy doing something else
(like having a baby) G!

Love
