7. Comments:
Sign a refusal form. I was actually encouraged to do this and was told that some of the doctors are supportive of vbacs but can't openly support you, you must refuse to have a cesarean. Cautioned me against using siloam springs memorial hospital because they are small and not equiped to handle certain situations (even though they allow vbac)
