“I know it’s frustrating when policies are ridiculous. I would be happy to get you a consultation at ”Hospital B” [a hospital one mile up the road from current hospital]. They are great at VBACs and are well-staffed to provide them and very supportive of VBACing. If you would like, you can go to the consultation there, we can continue your prenatal care here, and then you would just deliver at that hospital. Or, you can transfer your care over there entirely. Whatever you prefer.” – OB to mother during discussion about her planned VBAC during her 32 week prenatal.

I don’t care how many safe VBACs you’ve had and about any of the other testing you’ve had in the past, this is dangerous!” – OB to mother trying to VBAC again.
