St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange VBAC?

Hi.  I'm pregnant with my second child, and am wrestling with deciding on a birth plan.  Our first daughter was delivered by C-Section after my water broke.  23 hours later, I hadn't progressed past 6 cm, my daughter was sunny side up and had disengaged.  I love my doctor, and I had a great experience in St. Joseph, but in researching for this baby, I can't find anything on their policies on VBAC.  Have any of you delivered VBAC at St. Joe?  What was your experience?  How was the recovery, and when did they release you?

    I was going to do a VBAC there but my daughter ended up being 10 lbs 10 oz and my doctor didn't feel it was safe (which I totally agree and appreciate). I believe it will all depend on your doctor more than the hospital.

    It's based on the OB and their malpractice insurance/experience/preferences/reason for your first C/S. I work there and we TOLAC all the time :)

    Andiss, I was planning a delivery at St. Joseph's, however can not find any doctor that will attempt a Vbac or TOLAC there. I found a group that delivers our of Tampa General. But I would really like to deliver at St. Joseph's. Do you know any doctors that have recently done TOLAC there? If so u would really appreciate the info.
