I had my baby 11 days ago via VBAC I was 39 weeks 4 days and my water broke. We went into L&D they said that if after so many hours I didn’t progress in labor by myself they would have to start pitocin (which I had been trying to avoid) due to risk of infection. Eventually pitocin was started and it took around 18 hours after the pitocin was started before I vaginally delivered my daughter. I was only given pitocin and an epidural everything seemed normal I didn’t even tear. We took her home the day after 4 days after being home I was still in so much pain having sharp pains in my abdominal until I couldn’t handle it anymore and went into the ER. My uterus had ruptured along my previous c section scar during labor and no one had noticed it created infection in my stomach and my appendix was removed as well. They were able to repair my uterus and I spent almost 4 days in the hospital after on antibiotics. I am home now still on antibiotics healing from basically a c section scar and having my appendix removed still in lots of pain. I feel so lucky to be alive but so defeated by the whole situation I don’t know that anymore understands how traumatic it is to be in pain for this long. Has anyone else ever had a rupture they went home with and didn’t realize?
