Has anyone ever actually known someone to rupture during a VBAC?

I'm joining the crowd trying to decide between a VBAC or RCS. It seems like the risk of "devastating effects" from a VBAC are so slim in comparison to the major surgery why wouldn't I opt for the VBAC?  My first baby was breech so it was not a labor problem.

    I know someone who ruptured, but it was before she was in labor.  Her incision was not transverse though.  She and her son are absolutely fine, the only unfortunate issue now is that she can not have any more children.

    Yes. It happened recently to a mom in my bump group on facebook. I don't know the details of her previous CS but she lost her baby in the rupture due to lack of oxygen. It really shocked me and made me thankful for my successful, safe VBAC baby!

    Yes, someone from my local ICAN group. She did lose the baby, but it's arguable that he would have lived if she hadn't been at such a crappy hospital (very long story short, she knew something was wrong and was begging for a c/s for over an hour and the hospital sat around with their thumbs up their butt).

    However, I also know that this person is in a rupture support group and that a lot of those women have babies that did survive the rupture. Also, a number of them were moms who had never been cut (by c/s or other surgery), they just randomly ruptured.

    My doctor's patient had a huge rupture, but both mom and baby were saved in an emergency c-section. He says they are very rare and most can be saved

    Yes, my BFF ruptured during labor.  She had a very supportive VBAC doctor, went into labor on her own. Her kids are less than 18 months apart, I think that's a factor.  She and baby are fine though.

    Yes, there's actually a mom on my local board that did very recently.  I don't know many details but she ended up with an emergency cs but the baby had gone too long without oxygen and didn't make it.
