Which Doctor?

AshMK

Hi ladies. I was just wondering which doctor you would choose. I am going to try for a VBAC with this baby. Both doctors in the practice I am going to will allow it. One is a male, who has been an OB for 16 years. And the other a female who has only been practicing for 2 years. I dont know much about these doctors. I made my appt for this Friday with Dr. Franken.

Do you guys think experience with this is something I should consider or not? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Will you be seeing both at some point?  How do they handle a VBAC differently than a normal vaginal birth?  Not letting you go past a certain date, extra tests, etc?  I would also check with your local ICAN chapter to see if they have any input on either of the docs.  I switched at 24w to a new midwife group when I wasn't liking the way I was "allowed" to have a VBAC with my old practice (CFM with no telemetry, would have to fight to go past EDD, their overall scare tactics).
