[quote=dcmom]Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if some of this was covered by other responses--

WISDOM I believe decides how much risk they want to take on a case-by-case basis. I had depression/PTSD when I was an OB patient, but it was controlled by drugs/therapy and they were okay with it. I know someone else who had high blood pressure but didn't need meds for it. I know someone else who had gestational diabetes but was able to control wit diet and exercise, no drugs. All of us were able to stay with WISDOM and deliver there successfully. I do think that when there are multiple risk factors--controlled GD and high BP, e.g.--that you are more likely to be risked out. I don't think this is to reduce their C-section rate but rather because it is in fact what is best for you, that patient.

OP, I have heard absolutely wonderful things about Dr. Tham Metz at GW and would urge you to try her if you are risked out of WISDOM. I have heard she is absolutely supportive of natural childbirth.

Good luck![/quote]
