Could giving birth cause an abdominal aortic anyeursm to rupture a few days after giving birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aortic aneurysm: The strain of childbirth can cause bursts of higher blood pressure, which can make an aneurysm dissect and could cause rupture, but without a vascular surgeon on hand (for example, if the aneurysm were not discovered earlier) this could result in fatality.
