As reported by the
New England Journal of Medicine:
A 33-year-old asymptomatic woman (gravida 6, para 5) presented at 22
weeks of gestation with a large herniation of the amniotic sac through
the left uterine wall that was detected by routine ultrasonography.
She
had had five previous cesarean sections through a transverse incision of
the lower uterine segment and no previous vaginal deliveries... At 30
weeks of gestation, a healthy male newborn weighing 1385 g was delivered
by cesarean section.
The five previous C-sections had resulted in a weakened uterine wall,
through which the fetus' legs extended. Impressive image.
