[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your doctor think about your candidacy for a vbac?  Also, have you seen this? https://mfmu.bsc.gwu.edu/PublicBSC/MFMU/VGBirthCalc/vagbirth.html

This calculator is not evidence based . The idea that doctors still use it to make recommendations is laughable[/quote]

I don't think you know what "evidence based" means. [/quote]

So plugging info into a calculator and spitting out a percentage is evidence based?  Alrighty then[/quote]

Of course it is. That calculator and those like it are designed to apply evidence-based factors to predict outcomes. Not sure what you think "evidence based" means?[/quote]

That was interesting. It came out with a much lower chance of success (about 70% than I would have thought). I assume this is based on my age (39) and the fact that I never had a vaginal birth.

It does ask about dilation issues, btw. If I marked "yes" to that question, it lowered my rate to nearly 50% chance of success.[/quote]

I played around with it a bit.  Looks like weight (bmi) plays a major role along with age.[/quote]
