Isn't the chance of losing a baby to a uterine rupture in VBAC approximately
0.03%? Approximately 1 in ten ruptures?
I'll just go look it up....

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.
Cheers
Jo
