VBAC Hospitals in KC area?

Hello everyone! I am 19 weeks preggo with baby#2 and hoping for a vbac this time around. First baby was c/s due to breech. We didn't find out until several hours of labor. I was dilated to 5 cm. Recovery was rough (will be 4 yrs. between births). And we live in a bigger house now, with a lot of stairs, and on top of having a 4 year old, I just really want to try for a vbac.
The only catch is that I live and work in Topeka. And none of the hospitals here offer vbac.
My OB is supportive of my interest in vbac and says I am a good candidate. He says he can provide prenatal care, and if I choose, I can deliver at KU Med.
Has anyone had a vbac at KU Med? What other hospitals in the KC area would you recommend for vbac?
Its a really tough decision for me and my husband. I really don't want to go through an unnecessary surgery, but I will be kind of upset if we go to KC for delivery and end up with another c/s anyway.
I appreciate any and all input!

Re: VBAC Hospitals in KC area?
A friend of mine just had a VBAC at Shawnee Mission Medical in October. I delivered there in September as well and enjoyed my experience. I also know of someone else who tried for a VBAC at St Lukes South, not sure if she was able to or not.
