[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it rude to call out this doctor and name her on DCUM because you didn’t feel she was LGBT friendly enough. If she had made a statement against it - ok - but you admit she’s friendly and responsive. You certainly could have asked the question just as clearly without naming her personally. You sound very high maintenance. [/quote]

And you sound like a typical bigoted asshole. Grow up and get off your priveleged high horse and be THANKFUL you don’t have to  deal with this.[/quote]

OP, don't forget an LGBT friendly midwife and/or doula. They can be super helpful, especially in the hospital and in the postpartum period, because their main job is to advocate for you in the hospital, and to make you feel like you have an extra aunt once at home. Unfortunately, I don't have any local recommendations, but the GWU midwifery program has a great reputation. I used a Momease doula, but we're not a LGBT couple so I can't speak to that part directly; you could try emailing them and see if they can recommend someone: https://momease.com/labor-doula-services/

On a quick search, I found this link, which seems promising:

I also came across a few random names that might be helpful:

Plus, presenters in this 2016 seminar held in DC, and entitled "Bending the Arc Toward Justice: From Health  Disparities to Health Equity," the description of which mentions support to LGBT people. They are probably not based in DC but may know someone:
