[quote=Anonymous]I had an unmedicated birth at Sibley last summer. Of course it depends on your practice as to whether or not you end up with a section, but the nurses at Sibley and my practice (Reiter Hill) was totally on board with my plan. I had taken Bradley classes and knew what to expect. I had a saline lock but like PP no fluids administered. They monitored but intermittently (every 45 minutes they wanted to monitor) and I walked around the L&D floor, and by the time I was 8 cm I was ready to be lying in a bed. They have squat bars they let you use -- I wanted to give birth squatting and tried but lying on my back felt better in the end. The L&D nurses are great at Sibley. It's really post-partum that I wasn't that impressed with. Congrats and good luck with the delivery! [/quote]
