I didn't realize that midwives delivered at WHC. Definately something I will consider.

I just don't understand why it is becoming so difficult for a woman to deliver naturally with a doctor?!

Planning on having a natural birth and am trying to decide on OBs. One delivers at Holy Cross (Footer), the other at Sibley (Foxhall Group). If I am going to go natural, I don't want to be restricted to a bed and attached to an IV and fetal monitor the whole time. I know that this is the policy at some hospitals. I can't find anything about this on either hospital's website. Did anyone have a natural birth at Sibley or HC without being attached to machines the entire time? Thanks is advance! Also, does anyone know the C-section rate for the Foxhall group?
