How can I find out if a doctor in my area will do a VBAC?

Call around and ask. If they say no, ask if they know someone in the area who does. You could also call the hospital you plan to deliver at and ask them for a list of people who will attempt one.

My suggestion is to first call the hospitals in your area and find out which ones allow VBAC. Once you find one or two, ask the nurse at the desk in L&D which doctors regularly do VBAC. Unless they are very busy, they are usually pretty good about helping on this. Then, you can choose amongst those doctors.

Now, if you go to a woman’s clinic, just ask the head nurse there which of the doctor’s do VBAC and what hospital they use. VBAC is done at my local hospital, and most of the doctor’s at the clinic will do VBAC or refer you to one that does.
