After having her first baby via cesarean delivery, Pamela Barner was told she had a 4% chance of a uterine rupture with her second. What she heard was that she had a 96% chance of uterus not rupturing.
Her uterus did rupture, however and so did her bladder; and contrary to what one would expect, she did not feel pain at all while it was happening.
After her second child, she was told she shouldn’t have another baby. She decided to get a second opinion and she birthed her third child six years later without complications.
In her story, you hear her indecision about the role Pitocin played in her uterus rupturing, how team work between the nurse and surgeon prevented her baby from being injured during delivery, and how she was able to take a calculated risk because her healthcare provider gave her all the information she needed to make an informed decision.
Although she birthed three children, she is a mother to many and her advice to everyone listening is to know your body!
