Enkin et al cite the rate of uterine rupture (excluding asymptomatic scar dehiscence) as 0.09 - 0.8% for VBAC. It is worth noting that 2% of elective C/S after previous C/S have asymptomatic scar dehiscence without having laboured.

To be honest, I would be very worrisome about an independent midwife whose clients have a 12% rupture rate.
Hi Abby,
I am sorry I wasn't very clear - I didn't mean the independent midwife had that rate, rather that is the rate she mentioned to me that she has heard of. Often you will hear of rates that are very low, but that is not always the case. I guess it depends on a lot of factors as to how accurate the rates are.
