You wanted to know if your C-section scar is going to hurt again in future pregnancies. And there’s two scars to consider. There’s one on your skin and there’s one on the uterus. And the one on the skin won’t hurt again in future pregnancies, but the one on the uterus may, and if it does, that’s called incisional pain. And it usually feels like burning pain just underneath the skin, pretty much underneath where the incision is on your skin, but it’s on the uterus. And if you experience this type of pain during pregnancy, talk with your doctor about it. The concern is that last time you had your baby, the doctor made an incision on the uterus, and delivered the baby, and then stitched it up, and it heals nicely, but it’s a weak point forever more. So in future pregnancies, that weak point is going to be tested. Imagine if I made an incision down my bicep, and then I started lifting really heavy weight. There’s the potential for it to burst open, and that’s what the uterus can do too. That’s what we’re worried about happening. It’s called uterine rupture, and thankfully it only happens 1% of the time. But when it does happen, it is potentially life-threatening to moms and babies.

If you have this incisional pain, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your uterus is going to rupture, but it’s helpful for the doctor to know so that they can watch you a little more closely. Talk with your doctor next time you get pregnant, and based on their knowledge of your history and circumstances, they’ll decide if you’re a good candidate for a trial of labor after C-section, or a TOLAC, and the end result being a vaginal delivery after a C-section. And this is possible for some women who have had C-sections in the past, but not for everyone, again, because of that risk of uterine rupture. And for some women, it is higher than others. So in future pregnancies, if you experience incisional pain, whether you’re going to go for a repeat C-section or try for a vaginal delivery, call your doctor and let them know about it. And after asking you more questions, they’ll decide if they need to monitor you a little bit more closely.

Pregnant T. rex unearthed

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008418274887 Through the years of searching for fossils of the ever-popular Tyrannosaurus rex, locating a pregnant one has been understandably difficult.

But scientists now believe they’ve located one, determining this particular T. rex that roamed Montana was female.

Traditionally, it’s been extraordinarily difficult to figure out a dinosaur fossil’s gender.

Specifically, the researchers from North Carolina State University and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences found a medullary bone in a T. rex femur.

These bones are found only in female birds in the period before or during egg-laying.

Now, the scientists believe they will be able to find differences between male and female dinosaurs of this kind (theropod dinosaurs), and learn more about the evolution of egg-laying in birds.

“It’s a dirty secret, but we know next to nothing about sex-linked traits in extinct dinosaurs. Dinosaurs weren’t shy about sexual signaling, all those bells and whistles, horns, crests, and frills, and yet we just haven’t had a reliable way to tell males from females,” said Lindsay Zanno, a Museum of Natural Sciences paleontologist, in a press release.

“Just being able to identify a dinosaur definitively as a female opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Now that we can show pregnant dinosaurs have a chemical fingerprint, we need a concerted effort to find more.”
