Go figure

I had my 14 week appointment today.  I met one of the OBs and we talked a bit about my birthing options (unprompted).

Him: "So, what kind of birth are you looking for?"
Me: "I was hoping to try for a VBAC."
Him: "Great.  That is great.  Not enough women try."
::pause::
Him: "So, when did you want to schedule your c-section then."

I was also reminded that my son was much too big for me.  I was prepared for all of this and politely told him that I had no interest in setting a date at this time and would let him know if I changed my mind.  I have a feeling that this same conversation is going to come up at every single appointment between now and September.

    Wow.  Good for you for standing up to him.  For as much good as doctors can do, I hate them sometimes.

    It doesn't sound like he is very supportive of VBAC.

    From what I have heard from the midwives at the practice ( who don't do deliveries unfortunately), the OBs are supportive in a very limited number of circumstances. Unfortunately I cannot switch because of my insurance situation. I'm going to try to make as many of my future appointments with the midwives as possible.
