    Yes most hospitals would require constant monitoring and yes I would happily support a VBAC homebirth in fact I would encourage it. I know from experience that often obs will offer a "trial of scar" This is OB talk for "we will let her think we will let her have a VBAC in this hosp but after she has been in labour for an hour or so we will convince her that her scar is about to rupture and she needs an emergency CS"

    Thanks Kelly and Alan. That is certaintly interesting Alan - not surprising though. I am not looking at even TTC for sometime - I really have a lot of ill health to get over and want to be in the best possile condition to give myself the best possible chance. But forewarned is forearmed
    Does the risk of UR drop as time passes after the section? For example, is it less likely to occur 3 years post section as opposed to 1 year post section?

    Christy - I like your negotiation with the hospital - I will have to keep it in mind and try something similar.
