Has anyone VBAC'd at UMC, or know anyone who has... any information would be appreciated.
While it is not my specific plan to actually end up at the hospital, I am trying to prepare for all possibilities.
I called up there and the l&d nurses I spoke with said that they do VBACs all the time and they even recommended Dr. Macuilla by name. I was really suprised that he is willing to take me in the third trimester, I was seeing another OB who does not do VBAC (he knew that I was planning VBAC and was going to transfer me to some colleagues later in the pregnancy as is standard for his patients wishing to VBAC)... but I decided that I didn't feel comfortable waiting any longer.
Any further info on UMC protocol and/or Dr. Macuilla would be appreciated.
