[quote=Anonymous]How about “do everything possible to deliver my child safely and ensure that I am well and not permanently injured from the experience?” That should be their priority, not doing everything possible to avoid a C section, OP.

Unless you’re planning to have 10 kids I would not even bother with a VBAC. You’re just reintroducing a new possible area of trauma when you already have one, and vaginal birth can create a whole host of other problems you probably don’t have (prolapse, third and fourth degree tears, anal incontinence, urinary incontinence) which You are less likely to experience if you have a scheduled C section. What you especially don’t want to happen is to end up pushing for hours and then having to choose between forceps/vacuum or emergency C section - that is just awful. The OBs are being realistic  and you’re not. You can find another provider who might promise you the moon and stars but odds are they’re a homebirth midwife who can’t help you if you need a C section and won’t be held liable anyway. [/quote]
