Tissue samples from arteries showed that plaques from people with two C versions had a lot less COX - 2 protein than those from volunteers carrying two G versions, supporting the idea that less COX - 2 translates to less inflammation and lower rupture risk, the team reports in the 12 May Journal of the American Medical Association.

VBAC of a 2500 g baby is associated with the low uterine rupture risk of 1 in 1000, smaller than the risks of repeat cesarean section. (greenmedinfo.com)
For example, among three large studies investigating prostaglandins for induction of labor in women with a previous cesarean delivery, one found an increased risk of uterine rupture (89), another reported no increased rupture risk (5), and a third found no increased risk of rupture when prostaglandins were used alone (with no subsequent oxytocin)(6).
