vbac friendly doc in san diego
My brother and his wife are having a baby. She had 2 c-section 1 because of breech and 1 because of repeat. They thought with it being 8 years since their last child they wouldn't have any problem having a vbac. They met with there doctor and of course she already said there is no chance for vbac. They are looking for a new doc now. I suggested a birth center but I don't think she's comfortable with that. Anyone in the area know of a good ob or cnm that is vbac friendly. I'm all the way in Va so trying to help any way I can

Re: vbac friendly doc in san diego
Birth Centers can't take VBAC clients because of licensing. She would either have to go with an OB in the hospital or a midwife at home. There is a very natural birth friendly doctor in the community, his name is Dr. Biter. I'm not 100% sure if he would do a VBA2C but he is the only one I can think of who might. HTH.

Re: vbac friendly doc in san diego
I called UCSD as i am interested in having one too. They do vbacs in the birthing center. I know you said they may not be comfortable with a birthing center but i highly recomend they attend one of their open houses. The bc is right there with labor & delivery so theres obs everywhere in case of emergency. I had good experience having my baby at UCSD, would go there again for next baby :-)

It frustrates me when I hear of a doc saying no to VBA2C.....ACOG themselves recommend it. They changes their guidelines about it in June 2010.
I hope she finds somebody to support her. If there is an ICAN chapter local to that area, they may have some suggestions on doctors.

Re: vbac friendly doc in san diego
Sharp Mary Birch has so many different doctors (it is a HUGE hospital) so it might just be a matter of interviewing several doctors before finding one who will work with her. I had my son there last year due to being a preemie and it was a wonderful experience. I've had friends deliver at UCSD with the midwives and had good experiences, too.
