Homebirth safer (incl. VBAC homebirth) than hospital birth
A new prospective Canadian study has found that homebirths with registered midwives are just as safe, if not safer than hospital birth and guess what, women with one prior caesarean were included in the homebirth cohort and there were no uterine ruptures in either cohort. Women in the homebirth group had significantly better outcomes in terms of intervention. Check out the study here: http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.081869.
