I received this email from a mom who would like to try for a vaginal birth after delivering her first two children via Caesarean section.

She's looking for an obstetrician in the Triangle who is willing to offer what's sometimes called a VBA2C - or vaginal birth after two C-sections. Here's what she wrote:

"I wanted to ask if any moms know of any local VBA2C OB/GYNs. It wasn't a problem finding a VBAC provider after only one C-section, but after that most doctors don't want to take a chance. My first was a C-section due to pushing for two hours [only to find the baby] was face up. My second, I had a trial of labor and found out my baby was breach at 10 cm."
