This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, I’m excited to be answering some questions submitted by listeners from the podcast hotline!
First, we have a mom-to-be who is hoping for a VBAC. She explains that she’s already feeling some discomfort around her C-section scar. She is wondering if this could indicate an increased risk for uterine rupture and if pursuing a VBAC is a safe option for her.
Next, we have Taylor, a second-time mom who is curious if her second labor will be similar to her first, which involved very frequent contractions that lead to an epidural she was hoping to avoid.
If you want to submit your question to be featured on the show, all you have to do is call the hotline and leave a voice message! The number is 919-213-8719.
And if you like what you hear, you can listen to Episode 168 which has the same format.
A peek at the questions we covered:
-
Why do I have a tugging sensation around my C-section scar?
-
What is scar tissue?
-
What can affect the sensation of scar tissue?
-
What is a uterine rupture?
-
As a VBAC candidate, am I at a higher risk for uterine rupture?

-
