VIDEO: Dr. Mullis - Can Women Have Vaginal Births After A Pelvic Fracture?

Dr. Mullis explains if after suffering a pelvic fracture a woman can have a vaginal childbirth.

Dr. Mullis:
It is; that’s a common concern amongst women. No matter how bad the fracture is, the good news is, many times women can still have a child. The question is whether they can still have a normal or vaginal delivery versus a C-section, and sometimes if the pelvis has been fractured or distorted, it would be unsafe to have a normal delivery. And that decision is usually made by the obstetrician, OB/GYN doctor, many times in association with the orthopedic trauma surgeon.
