I studied midwifery >for awhile under Norman Casserley, also known as >Mister Midwife. He has done over 3500 births. He >recommends a technique of massage to prevent rupture >in a subsequent VBAC. Use a gentle kneading motion >like you would use on bread, over the length of the >Caesarian scar (during a subsequent pregnancy) for a >few minutes once or more daily. This will cause the >scar tissue to form blood vessels, and the blood >flowing through these will prevent rupture. The uterus >has muscles running in three different directions, so >there will actually be three scars because doctors >don't generally cut through muscle, but only alongside >it. So you will need to massage each scar.
