Correct Answer is ["A","C","E"]

Explanation

A ruptured uterus is a serious complication where the uterus tears or breaks open, usually along the scar line of a previous cesarean delivery.

It can cause severe bleeding and fetal distress.Some of the signs and symptoms of a ruptured uterus are:

• Abdominal pain, tenderness, and rigidity: This is caused by the internal bleeding and the loss of uterine muscle tone.

• Vaginal bleeding and signs of shock: This is due to the hemorrhage from the rupture site and the hypovolemia (low blood volume) in the mother.

• Absent or decreased fetal movements: This is because the fetus may slip into the mother’s abdomen or lose oxygen due to the rupture.
