The court held that a cesarean section at the end of a full-term pregnancy was here deemed to be medically necessary by doctors to avoid a substantial risk that the fetus would die during delivery due to uterine rupture, a risk of 4–6% according to the hospital's doctors and 2% according to Pemberton's doctors.
Rates of uterine rupture during vaginal birth following one previous C-section, done by the typical technique, are estimated at 0.9%. [1] Rates are greater among those who have had multiple prior C-sections or an atypical type of C-section. [1] In those who do have uterine scarring, the risk during a vaginal birth is about 1 per 12,000. [1]

Having a spontaneous uterine rupture, in other words a uterine rupture without contractions is extremely rare. Having a uterine rupture during active labor in women who had a cesarean section before is still relatively rare. [15] We call this a vaginal birth after cesarean, a VBAC. VBAC complications are definitely well described, but the ...
It may result in a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) or a repeat caesarean section. In approximately 20-40% of TOLACs, a caesarean is performed. TOLAC is recommended when a patient has had one previous caesarean section using a low transverse uterine incision. The main risks of TOLAC are emergency caesarean section and uterine ...
Typically, a low transverse incision is preferred during a caesarean section. This area of the uterus has less vasculature and therefore provides lower risk of hemorrhage during the procedure for the patient. Incisions in the lower area of the uterus is also associated with lower risks of uterine rupture.
“Sex during a low-risk pregnancy doesn't pose harm to the developing [fetus], as they are well-protected by amniotic fluid, uterine muscles and the cervix and mucus plug,” says Rhiannon John ...
Short inter-pregnancy interval after a prior C-section can be a contraindication for having a vaginal birth after a prior C-section . In one study inter-pregnancy intervals shorter than 6 months were associated with 2-3 times increased risk of uterine rupture , major morbidity , and blood transfusion during vaginal delivery in mothers with at ...
