Default Looking for VBAC friendly doctors

Last year I had a planned c-section for my 10 lb son and I am planning on having a VBAC with my next child.
I was told today that it is hard to find doctors that will take VBAC patients that had a single-layer incision c-section, but that they do exist!
I have no clue where to start, so I guess I am looking for a list of VBAC friendly doctors who deliver at VBAC friendly hospitals.
Thank you!

I second Women Partners. They are all fabulous. I've been seeing them for 8 years now.

Did you have double sutures done? My ob's office only does vbac's if you had double sutures done. They are Lone Star Ob/gyn. Good luck! We're going for a second and there isn't enough money in the world for me to voluntarily have another c-section. I would have to be seriously just this side of dead for them to do that to me again.

Well they requested my op report to see if I had single vs double but I am ultimately looking for a DR that would do it regardless. I have been researching the single vs double suture thing and most of the studies done have found that it made no difference which were done in women who had VBACs.
I actually met with Lonestar yesterday and she made it seem pretty hopeless for me because she's convinced I have single sutures. I might end up having to go to Austin or something.

I'm curious. I'm trying for a VBAC too and have appts. set up with Womens Partners and Lonestar. Did you find anyone for VBAC with single sutures. I don't know what I had yet but just requested my OB report which will take days to get.
