That's an interesting one Jo, one of the women we birthed with last year had a large ovarian cyst that required emerg surgery a few months after the birth, and they went to lengths to discuss that they had accidentally nicked the uterus during surgery, but that it would have NO impact on her future childbearing potential, and would not influence in any way her ability to have future vaginal births. (Also stated that they chose to tell her out of courtesy, and that if they hadn't mentioned it, she would never had known.....hmmmm, engenders trust in the medical system and their moral and ethical integrity, NOT!).
