What to ask new OB

Question

Hi all. Just got my BFP!! Going to a new OB on Monday and was wondering what type of questions I should ask that can assure me they are VBAC friendly and not VBAC supportive. My first was a csection and it was due to failure to progress. And completely unnecessary. Now I am more educated on what I want and I just need to break the ice somehow with some questions.
Thanks!

Answer

Ask their success rates for vbac, their stats for csections, in what situations will they induce, what situations would they recommend a repeat, how long can they “comfortable” with your pregnancy going, what they like for labor (positions, pain relief, EATING, monitoring), if they have a rotating doctor or if its just the ones in the practice (this one thing cause my vbac to almost go south and i almost didnt get my vbac because of a new dr that rotated at my hospital), their feelings on assisted births (forceps, vacuums, episiotomies), ask if they are a member of the ACOG if youre in the states, ask if they will allow you to go more than 24 hours after your water breaks, their preferences on medical interventions (epidural port, IV port, pitocin, foley balloon, AROM)
