YES: Uterine rupture can lead to catastrophic hemorrhage & death. It is a risk of pregnancy anytime you've had previous uterine surgery (c-sections, myomectomy), and is something you really need to discuss with your physician if you think you're at risk. If you have risk factors, please no home delivery.
