Default Ultrasound of lower uterine segment (scar)

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.

Good news about the scar thickness.

I did not realise you were attempting a VBA2C. I really hope everything
goes smoothly from here on. I will be attempting a VBA2C in early dec.
