So I am possibly pregnant with my third child. I have two older children and they were both born by c-section because my first son was breach and i was lead to believe that no one in tulsa did vbacs and that i HAD to have a s-sec with my second child. i really want to to have a vbac. its very important to me i never even went into labor not even braxton hicks with either pregnancy. 

now i do have a bicornuate uterus and i dont know how that would affect anything. but any advice or sucess stories would help!!!!! thank you so much!

Dr John Thompson out of St Francis will do VBAC2C if you're a good candidate. He delivered my best friend's third child and she had 2 previous C's. I am going to him right now trying for a VBAC, and I am confident he will do a great job! Hoping you get all the answers you need!

...of providers from your insurance (including high risk obs), then sit down and give them all a call. That's how I found Dr Thompson and he has been amazing.

Dr. Thompson is your only choice for a VBA2C hospital birth.

Yep, it's pretty much our only VBAMC hospital option in the entire state.  Now there are local homebirth midwives who will attend VBA2C if you're interesting in looking into that option.

Yes, just call his office & make an appointment.  He delivers out of St. Francis.  Good luck & let us know how things go!

The only birth centers are in the OKC area.
