Truth.

22/03/2026

Preparation, psychological and physical, is often underestimated.
Research shows that women who actively prepare for birth as a normal, natural event, have lower rates of intervention.
Women who have a fear of birth, or who are ambivalent, have higher rates of intervention and caesarean births.
Just going to a class isn't enough, you've got to take ownership of your birth by taking time to become strong and aware both physically and emotionally.
A little practice everyday, affirmations, reading a positive birth story, doing some squats, a meditation, some yoga, all of these accumulate and strengthen you at your core. Core birth strength, that's what you need to be aiming for.

Start with our 4 part antenatal, homebirth focused series, collect notes and go from there.
Birth doesnt have to be scary or full of the unknown.
Birth can be and is empowering and ecstatic.

What is the risk of uterine rupture during a labor after two cesareans?

So often, we hear the risk is 0.9 - 1.8%. But that doesn’t tell the whole picture.

The truth is, those numbers are based on studies in which 49 - 65% of labors were induced or augmented.

As we know, induction and augmentation has been associated with increased uterine rupture rates.

So it’s quite likely that the risk of uterine rupture during a non-induced or augmented labor after two cesareans may be significantly lower.

This is why it’s so important to understand what the research says.

Sometimes vital pieces of information are lost as statistics are simplified and shared.
