I moved to Rowlett after having a c/s and 3 VBACs in another state. I have heard very negative things about the ridiculously high C-section rate and abysmally low VBAC rate in the Dallas area. So when I found out we were expecting again I hunted to find an OB that was truly VBAC supportive. Even with three successful VBACs, most OB offices when I contacted them were very negative about doing a VBAC. I google’d and came across Dr. Weinstein’s blog and an article there about VBAC. I knew then that he was the OB I wanted to use for this pregnancy. It was a 45 minute drive each way to get to his office, and it was well worth it. I did end up with a repeat C-section at 41 weeks (baby was stubbornly oblique). However, I know that I was given the best possible chance to VBAC and I have no regrets. I don’t believe I could say that with another provider who was not as supportive of VBAC’s. I also know that Dr. Weinstein was as sad for me to not VBAC as I was.
