VBAC, anyone?

Saturday  in the early afternoon  Mystie

From my midwife:

If you have been told by your doctor that you can’t have a VBAC due to hospital policy, please get involved in this legal action by NW Women’s Law Center. At least respond to them and let them know which doctor and hospital was involved. I know that few of you on this list are in this category, but you should forward this to everyone you know. Thanks.

Attention:

I’m a lawyer with the Northwest Women’s Law Center in Seattle. I’m investigating possible legal responses to bans on vaginal birth after cesarean at hospitals in the northwest states – Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. If you are currently pregnant and want to have a VBAC, but are facing a hospital policy that would require you to have a c-section regardless of whether you want it and it is medically necessary, and are willing to consider working with a lawyer on this, we’d like to talk with you.

Please send an email to vbacbanhelp@ican-online.org and we will contact you.

Please forward this email to any list or community where it might be useful.
