St. Anthony's/Dr. Ryan? VBAC question

Wkm81711

Hi ladies! I am new here and newly pregnant with baby number 2. My first doctor was apparently knifehappy and cut me open for simply having high blood pressure at 37 weeks....without trying bed rest or anything!

Anyway, I would really like to attempt a VBAC. I heard great things about Dr. Ryan at St. Anthonys and I have seen him once. Since becoming pregnant, they wanted me to go to their lab which is the one in the hospital itself to have my HcG levels checked. I have been twice in an attempt to have that done and both times waited over an hour before having my blood drawn. The first time it took just a little over an hour but the second time I waited an hour and a half before walking out. The ladies behind the counter cared more about gossiping and chitchatting than getting stuff done. I know this is out oF Dr. Ryan's control, but I am turned off now by St. Anthonys.

Have and of you delivered there or know someone who has? Did you also experience long wait times?


What about the midwives at OU? Do any of you like them/deliver with them? Or better yet, VBAC with them?

Thanks!!
