I have actually read about it in either an article on VBAC or an ACOG
protocol on VBAC, however I have never heard of anyone actually doing it
before. The midwife I was precepting with was (and is) having her VBAC
clients birth in the hospital and so after a successful birth when the OB was
hovering (as they were doing with midwife VBACs in Seattle), she asked the OB
if she ever did this procedure (checking the scar) and the OB gave a firm NO
with a horrified look on her face. And that was the end of the discussion.
So, I don't know where the idea came from, but it seems that, fortunately,
those who do it are rare and far between. I also think they think they are
following some safe practice guideline and maybe this needs to be raised in
some such forum. marilyn
