If they are talking about 'burst vagina's" I would
suggest perhaps it's another name for 'splitting, tearing etc". In that case,
most women just have a few stitches.

Has she had any bleeding? What number baby is this? Any history of
prior uterine surgery?
I'd definately be seeking a second opinion from an unbiased
obstetrician if it was a member of my family.

Isn’t it interesting that “reasonably

that risk scoring will be used to increase caesareans rather than avoid it.

My understanding of the

likely to develop a growth of bacteries in their vagina. When you treat the
