Trying to avoid another C-Section?

Does anyone know of an OB or midwife in smithtown or the surrounding areas that support VBACs? I'd like to see if I'm a good candidate? There's Stony Brook midwives but Stony Brook Hospital does not take my insurance. But the midwives do.....I then called St. Catherine's Hospital and they dont support VBACs.

I go to Suffolk OB and I am delivering at St Charles. They gave me the option of VBAC. That's the plan as long as I go into labor on my own. They wont induce. I am nervous but excited.

Thanks. I'll check them out. who is your doctor? is there certain doctors that support it. Dont be nervous. It will be all worth it. its only 1% that something goes wrong. thats nothing. I'm def not nervous. I hope I'll be a good candidate. my dd will be 5 yrs by then. i want to be able to walk vs. being in pain for a few months.

i meant to say sore for a few months. Not pain, its only pain in the beginning.

Re: Trying to avoid another C-Section?

My DD will be 4.5 when our son is born so that makes me feel better.......it's not a new scar by any means.

I just really don't want another C section, I had a loooong recovery last time, it wasn't fun.

I see Dr. Petraco, he's great. Very patient, takes his time. I like him a lot.
