Subject:	Cervical tear VBAC
Body:	<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By n/a on 07/25/2007 3:35 PM<br>Let me just add my personal experience.  I had a cervical tear in my c/s birth----I don't know when I actually "got" it, but it was in my surgical report that the doc sewed me up.  He had used the vacuum, so maybe there?  Also, I pushed for 2 1/2 hours, so I don't know.  <BR><BR>Two doctors risked me out of vbac for the cervical tear and my big baby (9lbs 10 oz--not huge).  They said the cervical tear would cause scar tissue and that my cervix would have trouble dilating.  <BR><BR>The doc I went w/, told me my chances of having a stenotic cervix were about 1 in 200.  IF it did happen, he indicated he would massage the scar tissue and then the cervix would return to normal working order.  He said it might hurt, and a friend actually had this happen to her after a LEEP procedure (not a vbac).  The doc gave her an epidural and then massaged it out and vb no problem.  My doc said it was no big deal and highly unlikely as well.  <BR><BR>I vbac'd just fine!  </div><br><br>
