VERY disappointing 23 week appt.

writes "Sarah Vaughan" wrote in message ... In message , eggs writes On the other hand, you could just keep going to this guy and then not turn up for the scheduled C. It's not like they're gonna send the cops around to your house if you're a no-show! Call the hospital the night before and tell them there is a 'family emergency' and you'll be out of town for the week. Unless your OB has satellite tracking technology, you should be OK. It would be kind of sad if it had to come to this. Why should it have to come to this? She's not the one doing anything wrong, so why should she have to lie and sneak around? Besides, that sort of behaviour is a waste of other people's time. If Wendy decides she wants to go for a VBAC, she should just tell him so, straight. If he's not happy with it she should certainly give very serious consideration to changing doctors. All that's perfectly legitimate - why try to hide it? I don't think that she should have to try and hide it. I think that a dr who resists even having a *discussion* with his patient about the *possibility* of a VBAC is not going to be a Dr who will help his patients have a VBAC. The OP should change providers if she really wants one. One the other hand, if, for whatever reason, the OP cannot change providers, it is important to remember that it is her body and her decision about how she gives birth - she should not left with the impression that a dr can force her to have a medically unwarranted section against her express wishes. I completely agree with all this. I just don't see any point in scheduling the section in the first place if she doesn't want to have it. Rather than put herself in the position of having to cancel it at the last moment - and then lie about the reasons for doing so - it would make a lot more sense for her to just refuse a scheduled section from the start. (And, if he seems the least bit unhappy about this, to think very seriously about going elsewhere - after all, she wants someone who won't just half-heartedly accept her insistence on a VBAC, but someone who will actually be prepared to work along with her to help that to happen.)
