No V-backs in South Florida?!

Sparks in training! · September 2011

Hi all! So this is my 2nd pregnancy had an ER c-section with my daughter ten yrs ago. I am being told that V-backs (trying natural after Csection) are really not permitted in south florida. Anyone else have this issue?

My sister-in law is an ob and said that practices can be effected based on what is going on in the community. She does v-backs all the time and is fine with the risks, however is aware that in certain areas it might not be allowed.

I just found out that my OB will not perform natural on ANYONE. (she lost a baby and uterus once). My Sis said that was LAME and i should get another OB.

So anyone else finding out that trying natural after C is not being allowed?

That's a load of baloney. It sucks that your OB won't even let you try VBAC, but there are plenty of OBs in South Florida that will.

There are definitely doctors that will do a VBAC you just need to make sure they are affiliated with a hospital that does them. If you don't find anyone willing in Dade county you can check out Broward county; hospitals there are more VBAC friendly.

Women's Healthcare Partners in Boca (south) does. They delivered both of my kids - my first was a c-section after 24 hours of no progress. We briefly discussed a VBAC with my 2nd (he was born in December), but I chose not too, but they do offer it!

Midwives arent allowed, by law, to perform VBACs. Drs are but they are becoming harder and harder to find.

I know that Dr Rudolph and Feingold and Women's Partners, are very pro VBAC.

I suggest you contact the local ICAN chapter. They are a wealth of info and support. Good luck with your VBAC journey.

I noticed Dr. Aronson on someone's list and I just wanted to comment that I used him for my DD. He was great. He was very calm under pressure to the point where I remember looking at him during my labor and thinking he looked bored. And that is that my DDs heart rate was climbing and if she didn't come out fast I would have had to have an ER c section. He just calmly explained it to me and told me he wanted to use suction to get her out quick so I could avoid the c section.
