My cousin's wife had a C-section with her first one, was told by OB she would not have any more naturally. She had delivered a healthy baby absolutely naturally not so long ago. Good luck!

A midwife was what I wanted for my first pregnancy, but it's rough when you'd have to pay out of pocket for it. Can't even have a certified nurse midwife on my insurance! A good OB knows a VBAC can be done, and the risks to look out for. So far as I can tell, it's the standard risk of less than 1% for uterine rupture, which would be a medical emergency. I don't really expect to have the low amniotic fluid problem again. I just have to look at my grandmother, who lost a baby to that back when there was no way for them to detect that problem. She had 3 more healthy babies after that. But I have no problem with being monitored a bit more for that just in case. I still shudder to think how close I came to losing my son.

You seemed to have done your research on the doctors, hospitals and c-section. I have heard of women having natural birth after a c-section but I don't know their circumstances. Keep us posted.

I don't know if a previous c section would make a difference if you could see one or not. I had a midwife for my first and now am seeing them again for my second. They treat pregnancy like a normal natural occurrence(which it is) when an OB looks for things to go wrong. I will never see an OB because I just don't trust them.:)I think they perform C sections in this country too readily plus I don't need someone all worried over the fact that I am 36 even though my pregnancy is healthy and normal.:) Good luck with the new doctor and I hope you can have that VBAC!
