Hi, Ithink if you are going ot have success it will be at a large hospital that have fulltime surgial team ready to go, just in case of scar rupture or other emergency, I do think your ob can refuse you care after all it is them who is going to be sued if it all goes wrong, I guess if you just presented at a public hospital in labour they would treat you to the best of their ability under the circumstances. Do you understand the risks completely I had no idea until I did more homework on the subject and have to wonder if it is worth the risk, after all I can live with having had a C-section, but would never forgive myself if I left hospital with out my baby or a very sick damaged one. If you want check out my posts and you can have a look at the reasons why I have been advised against a VBA2C, not denied but advised against, I am still up in the air, but think I will end up electing to have the C-section.
Good luck with the decision and the disscussion with OB.
