Hospital statistics in Maryland   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #26 of 39 |
I will be moving to the Bethesda area towards the end of the year and I would
like to get information on c-section and vbac rates of local hospitals. My
chapter here in CA had this info and I was wondering if is possible to get info
for MD.

I would like to also know if there are VBAC bans and what hospitals have them.
And, if there is not a VBAC ban, I would like to know what the hospital
policy/restrictions are for a VBAC.

I am going to write a little essay on why I am going to do an HBAC next time
around. I want to have all the info in place so that when I do get preggo
again, I can hand this out to my family. the VBAC part will be easy, the
homebirth part will be the part that will be scary for everyone.

Any recommendations for a midwife? :)

Thanks!
