Seeking OB/GYN in Independence Area Who Is Not Against Voluntary C-section

I have recently moved to Independence and am looking for an OB/GYN in the area that would be willing to perform a voluntary c-section. I opted for a c-section with my first child because he was going to be a large baby (he was 9 lbs., 4 oz. and was born a week before his due date) and the options were to either induce before the due date or go ahead with a c-section. I chose the c-section knowing that there was a possibility of having to have a c-section anyway if I did not progress after being induced. I am not yet pregnant, but my husband and I are planning to try to get pregnant this summer, so I want to have an OB/GYN already lined up. If at all possible, I would like to have the next baby via voluntary c-section as well. Can anyone help me find an office that is not opposed to the idea?

What can I do next?

they are located on 23rd st on the same side of the road as mci, just a little futher east. give them a call and they might be able to help you. i'm sure if you explain your situation, they will be able to help you. i have a book with doctors: names, addresses & phone #'s if they can't help you. i would be glad to look up all of the ob/gyn clinics that are listed and send them to you. good luck.

Most doctors don't preform V-bacs because they are extremely risky and can cause many complications. So you don't have anything to worry about I wouldn't think. If the doctor you choose does do V-bacs, then at that point its your decision. No doctor can MAKE YOU have a v-bac. Good luck. My husband and I have a almost 13 month old son and we're planning on trying for baby #2 (hopefully a girl) in early spring or summer also

You'll be hard-pressed to find an OB/GYN who will do a "voluntary" c-section without a medically sound reason. They're much more risky, more prone to infection and have much worse "after" effects with longer recovery time than a vaginal birth.
But, you probably don't have anything to worry about since you've already had a c-section with your previous child. Most doctors stick to the "once cesarean, always cesarean" viewpoint, and are against V-backs. So whatever OB you choose will almost certainly automatically want to do a c-section for you anyway.

Happy ovulating! :) And best wishes!

Hausheer and Braby I can't remember their phone number but they are all wonderful. Dr. Adams is the best. They are located right off of 40hwy and 291 in the Cliffs area. Good luck

I actually think it is dangerous to have natural birth. almost any doctor will want you to have another c-section. I had to have one with my first and plan to have one with my next child.

If you've had a c-section before, most doctors will require that you have a c-section on any further pregnancy/deliveries.
