[quote=Anonymous]OP here!  Thank you for all your thoughts and inputs!  I think I would be able to move forward with decisions once I talk to my OB next week.  He is an OB with stellar reviews all around but when I checked NIH record his cs rate was fairly high and VBAC rate was low. I think that data was based on 2005 which is a while back but still.

I had epidural and had it twice (actually not because he said I should buy I requested the second one out of panic). I wasn't informed or did much research. So yes I was in semi reclined position when during labor and when I pushed with almost no sensation durin the push. I can almost confidently say I did not feel like I knew what I was doing. I know it couldn't have been my 100%. I progressed quickly - it was just the push that didn't work for me. I feel that maybe if i pushed longer or had better sense of control over pushing it might had a different result.

Once I talk to my ob, if I confirm that he still sees my chance as 10%, I think I am going to get a second opinion from a few different providers.  Hubby is not comfortable in going to a non hospital setting in case c section is needed though.

Can someone recommend practices that are VBAC friendly that i could possibly counsel with?  We live very close to Fair oaks hospital.  I know there are threads about them, but they are mostly outdated.

For those who used birthing center, were you comfortable being in non hospital setting?  This might be a stupid question but then do you have OB for your regular checks and go to birthing center for delivery only??  Or can midwives do regular check ups as well?

As much as I love my OB I am not married to him. What I want is the best thing for me and the baby. [/quote]
