  According to my dr its highest if labor stalls then blood pools in the bottom of the uterus and makes it swell when the top of the uterus contracts.

  I have no science to back this up, but it seems like transition or second stage would be highest risk for rupture, since that is when your uterine muscles are doing the most work.

  I asked my doc this question, and she said "no", no stage of labor presents a higher risk. I had assumed like a PP that the highest risk was during pushing, but she told me, statistically, this does not pan out. Partially, simply because that stage of labor is so much shorter than the others.

  Thanks for your responses.  I had read various things that gave me the impression that risks were higher towards the end as well.

  I asked my MW about this today and she said that the risk is the same throughout unless Pitocin would be used to augment labor.  In that case risks would go up (for obvious reasons).
