Note from ICAN of Missoula: Although it may be challenging to find a care provider who will truly support the choice to VBAC, Community Hospital in Missoula does not have a ban on VBACs. Before delivering at any hospital, be sure to find out what the hospital's protocol for vaginal, cesarean, or VBAC birth. This may differ from the recommendations made by your care providers.

A lawyer with Legal Voice, a non-profit women’s legal rights organization serving the Northwest states, is investigating possible legal responses to bans on vaginal birth after cesarean at hospitals in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon.
If you are currently pregnant and want to have a VBAC, but are facing a hospital policy that would require you to deliver by c-section with no medical reason other than your previous c-section and against your wishes, we would be happy to talk with you.
Please send an email to vbacbanhelp@ican-online.org and we will contact you.
