I should switch, right?

So, I am now 9 weeks, 3 days pregnant and had my first appointment with the OB I was referred to for VBAC yesterday.  Well, she was great, seemed very supportive of my trying a VBAC and everything.  But she warned me that her 2 partners were completely anti-VBAC and if they were on call, would not even allow me to try, even if I was already in labor.  She referred me to another practice with 2 very VBAC friendly doctors that she is pretty close with.  So, even though I like her, I should definitely switch, after I talk to the other practice of course, right?

The on call Dr I believe was about 75% of the problem when I had my c-section, I have never been treated so badly, so I just don't want to go through that again at all!

     I would switch.  You are going to spend the next 9 months worrying that you are going to get one of the on call doctors. It would stress me out during my pregnancy and I am sure you don't want that and want to enjoy!

    Switch- I wouldn't want the stress of dealing with whomever was on call that day.

    Yes, I would at least call the other practice and see if you can meet with someone to see if you like that practice.  They sound like a much better option for you.

    I'd at least call and see if you like them.  If the VBAC friendly doctor you like referred your business to another practice because of how bad the others doctors are in hers, I'd listen!  You have a 66% chance of getting one of those doctors during your labor!  Hopefully the other practice will be perfect for you :-)

    If your ob is recommending a different practice I would switch.
