They hate me because I refuse repeat c sections lol. They lie about how risky VBAC is, it is possible and not even as risky as what they say it is. The rupture rate studies doctors like to bring up include cases where they used pitocin which can cause a rupture. They'll do VBAC around here for horizontal scar types (not everywhere, some hospitals have VBAC bans) but not for vertical like mine. Luckily I learned how to get around their 'rule' by just refusing to sign the consent form and signing an AMA/form that makes the doctors not cry about liability if stuff goes wrong. The doctors won't take me as a patient though because I won't sign a c section consent form the first time I meet them. I just have to show up at the hospital. That's fine with me though, they stress me out so much I'm better off avoiding them anyway.
Doctors are horrible but almost funny with how stupid their lies are. They know they can't force surgery on someone who knows their rights but they still try to convince me I'll die without it. Then I ask them what's the worst you've seen from a VBAC? Have you even seen a rupture? Only one doctor I talked to out of many, had seen a rupture and they noticed it after the baby was born and stitched the lady up. Death from it is so rare and they use that small risk as an excuse to demand women have surgery.
