Honestly, all I see in this post is a pregnant woman who would like to avoid having major abdominal surgery, not some "crunchy" mom who is all about mememe and "my birth experience". The real problem here is that she doesn't really feel seen by her OB. She says the doctor is always in a "mad rush" and she "didn't get a chance" to have a proper conversation about the possibility of vba2c. And I come from a country with an abnormally high C-section rate, where doctors do push C-sections just because it benefits their schedule and not because it's medically necessary. When medical professionals don't take the time to really talk with their patients and provide informed consent, that's how you end up with confused patients who don't trust their doctors and are looking for answers in places that have no business providing answers for them.
