A member asked:
How long has a patient that has a uterine rupture during labor typically been laboring before the rupture occurs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually hours: Uterine rupture occurs in about 1% of women without prior uterine surgery, e.g. C-section and in 2% with previous low segment transverse c-section. When it occurs, it is generally after several hours to days of labor, but can occur earlier. If you have had previous uterine surgery, you should present to the labor unit as soon as you feel you are in labor. Please ask you OB doc for specifics.
