Totally agree with pp; the ultrasound at this point isn't accurate enough to risk you out of vbac.  I vbac'ed a 9.1 pound baby with no issues and only the tiniest of tears. Oh, and you have not done anything wrong!  All...

I don't know about specific hospitals, but if you can't get into Dr. Cummings I have heard awesome things about Dr. Weinstein  - http://www.friscowomenshealth.com/dr-weinsteins-blog.html - if I still lived in the area I would...

Yikes!  I sort of know someone online who had an HBAC with a midwife in North Carolina around 18 months ago. I will try to reach out to her and see if she could share that information with you.  Must be so frustrating...

We've been with Dr. Travis since October of 09 when my first son was born.  When we interviewed him he seemed very open to selective vax, which is what we have done now with both sons.  However, at the last two appointments...

I saw on the ICAN list that you've already gotten lots of recs and most of the recs are probably closer to you, but just in case you need more I had a wonderful VBAC at the Central Texas Birth Center.  It is in Georgetown, but...

I ended up just doing smoothies, but if I had done encapsulation I would have used her:   http://hillcountryplacentas.com/services/   Her fee is $225 I think, but at the time I contacted her she was doing a $50 off...
