Polyp/uterine: A uterine polyp is a growth from the lining of the uterus, and is not a threat to a pregnancy in any way, will not "tear or burst", nor cause an amniotic fluid embolism. Polyps can cause some bleeding when they twist and cut off their blood supply, but are not a cause for concern in pregnancy.

Does the uterus tear while giving birth? I'm afraid of amniotic fluid embolism although I know it's rare.

I gave birth once. I had to be induced because of strep b with my waters broken. I'm hoping second birth is easier. I fear Amniotic fluid Embolism because I read about it. Does there have to be a tear in the uterus or placenta site for it to occur?
