Labor and Delivery Complications - Uterine Rupture. This full color custom medical exhibit explains the mechanism of uterine rupture with two illustrations of a fetus within the uterus of its mother. The first illustration shows the position of the fetus before the birth starts and scarring from a previous cesarean section is indicated. The second image shows the fetus beginning to move and the stretching of the uterine wall to accommodate it and how the scarred region is jeopardized.
