C/S scar tissue: Every time a cut is made into the uterus to extract the baby the smooth muscle sometimes gets thinner when surgically repaired. Subsequent pregnancies after 3 or 4 C/sections can produce a very, very thin "see through window" into the uterus that has the potential to rupture prior to or during inadvertent labor causing a maelstrom of difficulties in diagnosis and mortality to the infant.
