Great letters everyone! But remember when anyone is spouting stats on rupture rates, the 1 in 200 ruptures are not all fatal ruptures. In fact the .2% was an 'estimated' rate (quote) from the 2001 Australian vbac management study. There were NO maternal deaths, only hysterectomies and there were no feotal mortalities: only morbidities.
So we must be very clear that when we discuss vbac that by using the 1 in 200 stat, we are not confusing women to think they have a 1 in 200 chance of having their baby die due to rupture.
