Re: [ozmidwifery] Post rupture discussion

Hi Jo: I think this comment was mine:    I did read the comment about the complacency of VBAC that had occurred during the last few years with interest…I could see how that could be viewed.  BUT could it be the ever creeping obstetric interventions imposed upon VBACS that led to the increased
