That being said, the risk of complications during a vbac would be slight in our case, so we will still be open to it if the opportunity presents itself. I guesss my original post was sort of a worst case scenario approach to childbirth cost$.

If the doctor was truelly holistic, he/she would take the approach of vbac first and only consider c section as an emergency. That's the way it should be anyways whether or not you are holistic. Of course that all depends on the actual circumstances involved. But it doesnt sound like in your case why you guys shouldnt try vbac first. Also, the baby and mother are much more alert and able to latch on right away. That alone should be the best reason of trying natural child birth before considering c section. If your doctor friends truelly looked out for the baby's sake, they would prefer natural child birth but like I said, too many times c sections are a matter of convinience to the doctors than anything else.
In any case, good luck.
