VBAC
VBAC hopeful with a question...
I have switched to an all midwife practice this time around and they advised that I am a very good VBAC candidate given I have had a vaginal delivery with my first and no other complications with second or this one. However, they said I do need to go meet with a physician at the hospital for a consultation on the VBAC before they can sign off on it. They arent concerned they wont, but says they need to do that. I am not worried or complaining, just curious if others have had to do that and if you know exactly what it entails? Thanks!

My VBAC was with a CNM and I did not have to meet with the back-up doctor. I would only have to see him if I needed a c/s at any time. Since I delivered without issue, I never met him.
I have heard of other people where they did have to meet with the back-up doctor, so it is certainly not unheard of. If the midwife isn't concerned, I'd say you are good to go!
I had to do the same thing. I went to a practice of midwives, but I had to see one of the family practice doctors to get approval. He went over the risks with me, but was very encouraging about the whole thing. When I was in labor he was contacted and put on call. He made any decisions that needed to be made and would have come in if there were any complcations.
