VBAC Southshore area??

eklecticpisces

Hello. I am finding it difficult to have a VBAC in my area. I'm still doing a lot of research but keep coming up with the same response that I HAVE to have a repeat C-Section. Anyone else in the Wareham area running into this problem?? As far as I know Weymouth (Southshore group) is the only hospital this side of Boston that may allow VBAC's. Any help, suggestions or ideas are appreciated. I'm not comfortable with anyone telling how I can and can not deliver my child. I would simply have an at home birth but of course that's not covered by insurance and my luck something would go wrong.

South Shore Women's Health Group will allow VBAC's. They deliver at South Shore Hospital. This group has offices in Weymouth, Duxbury, Scituate, and Whitman.?

That's what I was hoping to hear. Now I have to break the news to my ob that I will be transfering

Thanks Nancy!

I delivered at Tobey via c-section and they said if I wanted to have another kid there, it would have to be c-section, so I know what you're talking about.

I did a little more research yesterday, made some phone calls. Jordan Hospital has docs that will deliver via VBAC but, you need to bring your medical records from your previous birth (C-Section Delivery) and present it to the Jordan Hospital Board for approval. I have just ordered my records ($15 copy fee) and plan on taking this approach. Jordan is much closer for me than Weymouth and I think as long as I have a low-risk pregnancy there should be no reason for the board to deny me. Basically, no complications, no large baby, no multiples, no past due date etc. Thought I would share this with you. Who knows the hospital could change there policies tomorrow, but I have to give it a try...I DO NOT WANT A REPEAT C-SECTION!

If you want to travel a bit, Boston Medical Center definitely encourages VBACs.
