There is another VBAC post beliw with good info and a link to the ICAN website. I am determined to have a VBAC next time and will be going to regions...they have no restrictions with VBACs...the ICAN sute has a map of mn hospitals and shows their policies.
I talked to some of the midwives and docs at regions at great length after my recent c-section. Dr. Fall performed my c-section and seems to be very supportive of VBAC's, fwiw. Although I was disappointed I ended up with a c-section, I did feel that they did everything they could to avoid one. But there was massive amounts of meconium and my DD's heartrate kept dropping to scary low levels.
Re: VBAC at Regions?
the only hospital I know of that will not do VBACs is St. Joes. There could be more, but it's the only one that I know definitely will not do them.
Woodwinds, St Johns and Abbott do them as well, as far as I've heard.
I had my first at Regions, and if I do try for a VBAC, I will not be going back.
There's a workshop starting on Nov. 1 on VBAC after cesearen being offered at Blooma in Edina. Here's the info:
