I wouldn't pick an OB just because you want a VBAC. Any good doctor would discuss this with you. [ Reply | More

Just had a vbac at Cornell. I believe it helps a LOT to have an OB who is supportive, but there's more to it than that. I think you should find an OB who you really like and hire a doula. You really need to labor at home for as long as possible and avoid interventions if you want to do this, and a doula will make that happen. I wouldn't have gone to Moritz, personally, because I wouldn't be able to stand the waits everyone talks about. He also highly recommends doulas, from what I've heard. [ Reply | More

If you really want a vbac, use a midwife. Seriously. If you want SLR, go with Midwifery of Manhattan, Maureen Rayson, Sandy Woods (backed up by Moritz) but go with a midwife FOR SURE. [ Reply | More

OB and VBAC do not go together. And when they do, it's because the OB isn't behaving like an OB but like a midwife. [ Reply | More

Don't go with Moritz. He way overbooks himself and people wait for like 4 hours for their appointment. [ Reply | More

OP, I very much agree with those who've suggested going with a midwife, but if you're very set on an OB, I'd recommend Jackie Worth--she delivers at Lenox Hill but is VERY pro vaginal birth and is just starting to also deliver at St. Vincent's (which is known to be much more progressive and lower intervention in general) [ Reply | More
