Sutter Davis Birthing Center - Davis, Woodland, Sacramento, California

The BEST OB to see there is Annette Fineberg, but they have an amazing team of midwives. A majority of their births are waterbirths and they have an on-call doula program available. They also recently removed their VBAC ban, so they do water VBACs as well.

Okay, I was wondering if anyone knows how I can find a hospital that is natural parenting friendly but also supportive of VBAC. I live in southeast Ohio and my top choice local hospital wont do them (if something happened they don't have the facilities to stop fatal hemmorhaging). The only other hospitals locally are the one I delivered my DS at and wont go back to (the experience was horrible...terrible bedside manner of nurses) and one in Point Pleasant, WV but I have heard from several people there that their nurses are not really much better than Holzers (where I had my son) were.

Is there a website I can go to to look up what hospitals are VBAC friendly? That is most important to me. Nobody is going to sway me on anything else. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
