Anyone deal with thin uterine wall/lining late in pregnancy?
When I went for my 32 week US yesterday, they told me I have to go back in 3 weeks because my uterine wall or lining (forget which one) was getting thin and they want to make sure it stays above a certain number before my c-section. I'm guessing becuase they don't want me going into labor before the scheduled c-section due to the fact I've already had two c-sections and this one is a definite. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, and quite frankly, the sooner this baby comes out, the better since I'm so uncomfortable and miserable. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this at all and what the result has been.

No, but the measurement is debatable. http://vbacfacts.com/2009/01/17/predicting-uterine-rupture-via-sonogram-to-measure-uterine-thickness/
Just an fyi, years ago, doctors used to stick their hands inside women's uteruses following VBAC to check the integrity of the scar. They would sometimes find a thinning of the uterus where the previous scar was (known as a dehiscence or a uterine window). So women have gone through the whole process of vaginal birth with a thin uterus. Obviously I wouldn't try to have a vaginal birth with a thin uterus but there isn't enough evidence to suggest that you are a rupture waiting to happen.
