You know..I've never thought about the uterus rupturing but that is a possibility. It's really amazing to me how much the uterus stretches..it goes from being extremely tiny to huge and then back down to a small size again. If you have an extra tiny uterus, I guess it could stretch too much and rupture. Hmm..I love when I learn something new
