[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! OP here. I am going to Women to Women so could get any one of 5 doctors. I have liked all that I've met so far, but will research their individual c-section rates. Haven't seen Dr. Caskie yet but have heard great things.[/quote] OP, I delivered twice at VHC with Women to Women. Dr. Holmes delivered my first DD which was a planned c-section due to breech presentation. I had a VBAC with my second at VHC. I labored at the hospital for 12 hours (was in labor at home for 6 hours beforehand) and the nurses were very accommodating. They read my birth plan and really did not push me to do anything differently. I did have a doula, which was very helpful. Dr. Shah was supporting me for most of the labor -- popping in an out until the last 4 hours when she had to go to the office to see patients. Dr. Cobbs was there for the last few hours and immediately started pushing me to 1) get an epidural which I did not want, and 2) agree to a c-section. Dr. Shah before she left thought that I was doing really well and would have no problems with the birth based on the monitoring she had done for the 8 hours prior, so I really believe Dr. Cobbs just wanted to be out of there. In the end I did not have a c-section. When I checked later on I did find out that Dr. Cobbs has a pretty high c-section rate. All of the other doctors are awesome! And I can't say enough good things about the nursing staff at VHC. Both times I had excellent care and so did my babies. [/quote]
