[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you like your OB and your chances of a c-section do seem pretty high, why not just stay with him and hire a doula?  Get a piece of writing that says your doctor doesn't require an IV to be placed when you go to the hospital (since he said he'd go with that).  Do whatever prep in terms of classes and reading for a vaginal birth, but have your backup there.  See how it goes.[/quote]

FWIW, I used Fern Compton as a doula for my VBAC and I thought she was fantastic!  She's very calm and has a good amount of experience with VBACs.  She also does not  have an agenda.  I ended up opting for an epi when I was about 8 cm and she never made me feel bad about that decision.

I would go to a provider who is pro VBAC and get that person's opinion on your chances of success.  I think it's reasonable to ask for your medical records to give an informed opinion.  Just ask your current OB to make a copy rather than sending the records in case you end up not switching.  Good luck!  [/quote]
