VBAC Help
I am thinking of contesting my hospital's no VBAC policy, but I need to know what I should do. Check out my previous post if you need background. Thanks in advance for your help.
Barbara Stratton (of the International Cesarean Awareness Network) created a list of 11 ways to protest a VBAC denial. You can find it here: http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/50ways_vbac.asp
ICAN also has a great resource for women whose hospitals have banned VBAC: http://www.ican-online.org/vbac/your-right-refuse-what-do-if-your-hospital-has-banned-vbac-q
Maybe talk to your doctor, then your insurance company, then the hospital patient advocate. Come armed with lots of research and information. Good luck!

I replied to you on Shakesville and reposted it on my blog. I second, third and fourth ICAN as a resource.
Good luck.
