PSA evidence based medicine supports VBAC
Any Dr who:
*Schedules a "just in case RCS" at 39,40,41,42 weeks for no medical need
*Suggests a RCS/Induction for suspected big baby
* Suggests a RCS/induction for "low fluids* although baby is fine
* refuses induction for any reason
* Offers only to "break waters* then gives you 12-24 hrs to progress
*Says you HAVE to progress x cm per hr
* Says you HAVE to be dilated at x gestation
*Uses the "success calculator*
* Says you're " too small" " too fat" to push a baby out
* Says you're " high risk" based on the less than 1% chance of rupture
* Says you can discuss vbac at a later date
* Confines you to the bed
* Restricts food/water
* Forces CFM or iV
*Cannot do an ECV
*Baby breech at 30+ weeks=rcs
Is ****NOT**** supportive!!!
If you were able to vbac with such a Dr, you had luck and God on your side! Providers who do not follow evidence make it VERY hard for moms to vbac.
A supportive provider makes a HUGE difference. Take time before pregnancy or in early pregnancy to find real, evidence based support. Have a back up plan. Don't "wait and see."
To wrap up--- find a provider who follows evidence, research everything to make an informed choice. Your doctor doesn’t “let” or “allow” you to do things you hire the doctor. Thanks..
