I have a huge interest in the topic of birth and follow it fairly closely; I have never yet heard of a woman who actually sued a doctor for a vaginal birth gone wrong. And as this article mentions, those cases that *did* occur had the complicating factor of being grossly mismanaged VBACs in the first place.<BR/><BR/>As for the number of women who'd *like* to sue for an unnecessary c-secion, I know there are hundreds of them, and when they start looking into what needs to be done they learn they've barely got a leg to stand on because they're supposed to be grateful they got a healthy baby and don't they know the doctor did everything they possibly could to ensure a safe vaginal birth?
