I would recommend Physicians and Midwives in Alexandria (they delivery at INOVA Alexandria). I also live 5 minutes from Sibley but couldn't find a practice on my insurance (MAMSI) that was also pro-natural childbirth. Moving to Virginia was our best options since Shady Grove is an hour's drive in traffic.
Good luck!

Good luck!

We are also thinking about hiring a doula for labor and delivery, and also perhaps for some post partum help. The question is, can we afford both? Can anyone give us an idea of what doula services for labor and delivery cost? How about post partum?
Thanks!!

In that case, I got a really nice pair of maternity hose at Macy's Pentagon City (maternity is in the intimates section). Hue makes them, and so does Mimi. Good luck!
I read a pregnancy fashion blog that was raving about these tights...

Just Say No To Leggings (Please?) and Keep Those Legs Warm in Sternlein’s Maternity Tights
December 7th, 2007
It’s incredibly cold in New York today (although please note that I am not complaining–anything is better than the Israeli desert heat) and I used the occasion to break out my Sternlein Maternity Tights. Those Germans at Sternlein aren’t joking around–these are some damned warm maternity tights. I threw on a short dress and some boots over the tights during yesterday’s snowstorm and I was surprisingly toasty warm.
sternlein.jpgWoven from a thick, high-quality, organic cotton with 2% lycra, Sternlein tights put your typical maternity tights to shame when it comes to keeping your legs warm. They are completely opaque and extremely comfortable. They are also ribbed so, no worries, they don’t look like leggings (I truly despise leggings, especially maternity leggings).
sterlein_2.jpgI’ve never seen Sternlein Maternity tights sold in a store but they are currently available online here on Babytalk’s website in three colors–black, chocolate brown, and charcoal grey–for USD $34.99. They are also available here in Roundbelly’s online store for USD $29.99, but in limited sizes. And they are available here at TightsOnline for USD $38. I can’t explain the price disparities, but one of those locations should have your color and size. They definitely run big, so order the smaller size if you think you might be in between sizes this winter. I’d also advise handwashing and then line-drying these tights, which is what I did last night. I think that is the best way to make sure they keep their shape.
One warning–if you are looking for belly support, these are not the tights for you. The adjustable elastic waistband pulls up over the stomach so they are very secure, i.e., no need to hike them up while you are standing on the subway or the bus. But there is no additional support in the belly panel.

I'd like to know which NW DC day cares you're on the list for. My husband and I are expecting in May and we're on the lists for both of our office day cares but not on any in our area (we live in Wesley Heights). Can you tell me what you found that's near here?
Thanks!!
