The risk of rupture is 0.7%, and for me, the risk of surgery is not worth such a miniscule chance that there will be a rupture... and besides, the study that came up with that figure was a rupture from all causes, inductions included. You can rupture without having a previous caesarean, and to put it even more in perspective, you have around 1% chance of miscarriage from having an amnio - but lots of women do it... would be great if lots of women were having VBACS!

It's also very important to place yourself in the care and environment which is going to give you the best chance of success. In the vast majority of private hospitals with a private ob you are less likely to acheive a VBAC. I'd highly recommend hiring a doula or private midwife to support you. A professional birth support person results in 50% less c/s - thats from lots of studies from around the world.
