Hi Mraven! I haven't had a vbac, but wondered where in MI you are? I'm just outside Detroit in Grosse Pointe.

I've had a VBAC. My first was born by c-section - my second was a vaginal birth, in a hospital, using a doctor who was the closest I could find to a midwife at the time.
Oops, I found this thread via new posts....I see it's in the due date clubs....
carry on ladies

Jennifer, I haven't found one yet. I was thinking Trish (she's with Metro Partners, right?!? Is here name Patricia Scane? Or is that someone else??) Do you like her? Have you used her before?
WOW about prenatal in your house that would be awesome! I don't think I can convince DH to go the home birth route, but if $$ weren't an issue I'd be pushing it more.
I was also thinking of going over to Uof M and using their midwifery care. It's only about 25 minutes from me, about the same as Providence.
I'm so happy there is someone from MI here!

Itlbokay; cute name! I guess I don't have any specific questions. I'm getting more and more confident with every hour. Disappointed that I can't use a birthing center. Finding great resources here at MDC, which is wonderful!

I hope all you due date club ladies don't mind that I posted here. I see vbac in a thread and I've just got to check it out.
My second son's birth (vbac) was a really incredible experience, I encourage anyone who is in a position to try for a vbac to go for it

Yep, VBAC here too.
We found a midwife that we love (after interviewing 4 others) who will be attending our homebirth.
mraven721 - you mentioned no birth centers where you are will do VBAC, which is also the case here in MA....it makes me SO MAD!

OK, I'm just here stalking Michelle :LOL but then I saw this:

WHAT?!?!?! Are you serious? Is this a new thing? We are talking about Trish Scane, CNM, right? I know she learned with HB midwives but I didn't know that she did them now. This changes everything for me!

Hi Jessica!

Who are you using? I think I'm going to make an appointment with Charlotte and talk about finances and convincing DH about HB!
Quote:
Sure. I'm not a VBAC (sorry for hijacking), so do you know if this CNM does regular HBs?
I've got an interview with New Moon (Merrilynn and Amanda) on Wednesday and I'll talk to Charlotte if I still need more information from her to decide (I've got a little bit of a preexisting relationship with her).
My big issue, though, is insurance. It's soooo hard to justify spending that much money if ins would just cover it 100% in a hospital. I mean, that's a nice chunk to start a college fund! If I can find one that'll do a HB and get 100% - I don't care WHO they are!

Well, I do care, but you know what I mean.
We did HB with DD, though, and I MUST do it again. Heck, the experience was so good that it made me rethink my 2-kid limit. :LOL

I am in MA too!! I first looked into Birthing Centers, I had no idea that they didn't do VBAC's that's why Im having a homebirth.
