[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Midwives have lower c section rates. I am with a midwife now despite being a VBAC. [/quote]

Also don’t forget that a major reason for this is because the midwives won’t take on medicinally complicated cases that are more likely to result in a c section. With my first, I was super committed to a “natural birth” and started off with a very well known midwife practice in the DMV. They suddenly transferred to me to the OBs at 34 weeks once some potential complications started to come up. In the end, I did end up as on of the “unplanned” c sections for the OBs in the end after an awful, grueling induction.[/quote]

It's true. I was with a midwife when the induction failed and I ended up with the c section anyway. Supposedly less than 2% chance because I had a prior vaginal birth. Nothing is a guarantee. On the other hand, your midwife is not going to ambush you at 38 weeks asking when you want to schedule your c section, which sometimes happens to OB patients, especially someone like me (a VBAC).
