On this note, I would like to know as a childbirth educator who supports homebirth and supports VBACs-- something that I really don't know and have been asked in class-- how long does it take for a rupture to result in a baby's death?  As one class participant noted, " If you have a VBAC at home and rupture-- you're basically screwed, right?"  I did not have the necessary information to answer the question-- instead emphasizing the tremendous obstacles women have getting a hospital VBAC and the risks of cesarean surgery.  Can you answer this question?

Thanks,

Shayna
