I often have this argument Abby, that before we start triAling the safety of vbac we should look at the Vbac outcomes for various settings and modles of care. I argue that even the very low rates of rupture in a hospital setting (the rates that still include induced and augmented labours!) are not indicative of the REAL rtes of ruptures and 'failed' vabc attempts because the meddle factor is always present in a tertiary hospital setting that always influences these things.

All the studies seem to be done in big hospitals where, I can imagine, they have strict proticols regarding 'trial of scar' or 'trial of labor' ( aauugghh how much I hate that, like giving women permission to 'trial' their body, automatically gives a sense of maybe I can, maybe I can't!!) Surely the outcomes of a study would differ greatly when women birthed with complete freedom of movement and with noone monitoring constantly, no fingers eager to 'check' how things are going and no fear from caregivers.
