The Case for VBAC
A year later I had the opportunity to attend the National Institute of Health’s VBAC consensus via their online stream. Originally I was planning to make the trip to Maryland for the two day event, but I simply could not because of childcare, and other factors at that point in time. I was glad that all the information that was presented was also available online, as well as all the slides presented by the panelists that shared. It was a wealth of amazing knowledge and information, and the main goal was to help the pendulum swing back to providers recommending VBAC before elective repeat c-sections in an effort to curb the growing cesarean birth rate.
Some of the most compelling information I learned:
Discussion of placental problems after previous cesarean sections, and the increased risk of more serious and more dangerous placental complications with each cesarean birth. We have seen in the past 20 years a large increase in things like placenta previa, placenta acretta, and other life threatening placental issues. Which I also highlighted last week in Cesarean Rates, Placenta Accreta and Maternal Mortality . Once a rare event that affected 1 in 30,000 pregnant women in the 1950s and 1960s, placenta accrete now affects 1 in 2,500 pregnancies, according to a 2007 report in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology . In some hospitals, the number is as high as 1 in 522. The risk of hysterectomy also increases, which is rarely discussed. The risk of having a hysterectomy with the 4th cesarean section is 2.5%. Some interesting statistics on this are included in this post entitled After a Cesarean breaking down the numbers of hysterectomy, risk of uterine rupture, and major medical complications from repeat surgical delivery. One of the quotes that stood out to me from a panel member most was… “repeat cesarean section does not eliminate the risk of fetal injury” Which is a huge common misconception of women who are opting for elective repeat cesarean deliveries, also refereed to as ERCD’s. Which also I would like to include, many women think that you can only experience a uterine rupture (the most talked about risk of VBAC) during active labor, which is inaccurate. After any uterine surgery, a woman can experience uterine rupture any time during pregnancy, whether you are planning a VBAC or repeat c-section!Latest Updates Of Maternal - News

911 Call Tells How Tot Reportedly Shot, Killed Mom | Latest Updates
A 911 call released by Florida police reveals how a toddler allegedly shot and killed his mother when he picked up a loaded gun, wsvn.com reports.
According to Miramar Police, Troy Bailey Sr. called 911 late Wednesday and said that his 2-year-old son grabbed his gun and shot his mother, 33-year-old Julia Bennett.
“Oh God, I can’t believe this,” Bailey is heard saying on the recording. “He shot his mom. God in heaven, help me please.”
When the 911 operator asked who shot Bennet, Bailey Sr. said, “I was taking the gun from him. I was trying to take it from him…from my son, from my son. He’s right here.”
Bailey Sr. goes on to say how he tried to take the gun from Troy Bailey Jr. when it went off.
“Jesus Christ, God. Why did you put my son in this spot?” he said over the phone. “Oh, God, no. He’s my life. I’ve never gone through something like this.”
Miramar Police investigators say the child’s father told them he left the .9 mm Glock semi-automatic, for which he has a concealed weapons permit, in the reach of the child who some how got a hold of the gun.
A judge has placed Bailey Jr. in the care of one of his maternal aunts and maternal great-grandmother. His father is not allowed contact with Bennet’s family without state permission.
At the custody hearing last week, the child’s advocate said the Broward Sheriff’s Office was not able to locate the father in order to notify him about the hearing. At the dependency court hearing, Lisa Glick of Children’s Legal Services, said, “BSO has been unable to reach the father at this time and does not currently know where he his.”
Miramar Police, however, insisted Bailey Sr. was never missing and is cooperating with the investigation, which remains on-going.
Bailey Sr. was initially questioned by police at the scene but has not been charged. At minimum, he could be charged with negligence for leaving the gun in the boy’s reach.
