Here is an article on waterbirth and VBACs. The first paragraph reads:

"This pager reports the methodology and results from a small audit undertaken in 2002 for women with a history of a previous lower segment Cesarean section (LSCS) who were hoping to have an active vaginal birth and wished to use water in their labour. The main focus of the audit was the use of a risk assessment tool designed by Maidstone Hospital, Kent and introduced in 1998. The approach to the audit was to compare outcomes for a group of women who wished to use water for labour with those who had dry land care and management following a previous LSCS. Results from the audit and recommendations are based around whether water is a 'safe and realistic' option for women who have had a previous LSCS."
