not sure what you are looking for but last year I was at a loss at 7-8 months and ended up going to the clinic at Sisters of Charity. Not a wonderful experience but there were some people who were very pro VBAC and there were some awful people (mostly nurses). It was tough and I basically took charge of my own healthcare and kind of fell through the cracks a couple of times as I just didn't show up for tests, etc. I had a successful VBAC and cannot say enough about my L&D experience there. I haven't had time to write it all down but everyone was AMAZING. Mine was not natural as I was screaming for the epidural after 2 days of labor at home. I really can't say enough about the staff I had there. I really don't think I would have been successful anywhere else in Buffalo. It was all very dicey but they never mentioned C-section even when I thought there was no hope.
