7. Comments:
No VBACs scheduled. If patient showed up in "very active" labor, there is a consent form before VBAC would be attempted. Nurse pointed out that this is a political issue and the ban on scheduling VBACs changes, and likely will change again. Recommended Hinsdale Hospital, which is Level 3. Many OBs practice at both hospitals.
