Some women who have had more than two cesarean sections say their local hospital options for a vaginal delivery closed when a sympathetic doctor and hospital ceased to...

Sadly - most hospitals in Nebraska, and most hospitals in Iowa - do NOT follow ACOG guidelines for VBAC and do not even attend vaginal birth after just one cesarean, and only a very few hospitals follow current ACOG guidelines by attending vaginal birt h after 2 cesareans. That said -- ACOG guidelines are not laws, which means that hospitals and providers can and do have the discretion to decide what they will and won't attend -- and when hospitals or providers limit their options, parents then have limited "choice". A motivated and skilled provider in a supportive environment is absolutely "allowed" to support families who want to make other decisions -- including those who want a vaginal birth after three (or more) cesareans. VBA3C HAS been done, across the US, and although it is not common, there is limited research supporting VBA3C. Regardless of what any individual person might choose to do for themselves - we must remember that pregnant people have rights. As ACOG mentions in their Committee Opinion on Informed Consent "Seeking informed consent expresses respect for the patient as a person: it particularly respects a patient's moral right to bodily integrity, to self determination regarding sexuality and reproductive capacities, and to support of the patient's freedom to make decisions within caring relationships" http://www.acog.org/~/media/Committee%20Opinions/Committee%20 on%20Ethics/co439.pdf?dmc=1&ts=20140426T0406259778

This is why it is important to become educated on the topic and avoid a c-section unless necessary. Blue Cross Blue Shield has info on hospitals that have high rates of C-sections for those wishing to find info on this.

I started with the beginning of the 2005 series. Christopher Eccleston is a great introductory Doctor, because he has all the sass and humor of the other Doctors but he brings extraordinary depth to the role as well which sets you up well for the other Dcotors (David Tennant and Matt Smith's goofiness would only be palatable after watching Eccleston, because he gives you a sense of why the Doctor is how he is). It's a good show for a laugh and for adventure and for occasional feels.
