[quote=Anonymous]16:57 here. I live in Bethesda, and I'm a patient of Whitney's. I don't have a lot of experience with her.  I first saw her for a prenatal visit this fall, and she discovered my missed miscarriage. I'm pregnant again, and I'll be seeing her for my first prenatal visit for this pregnancy in a couple of weeks (knock wood, if all goes okay).

When I was pregnant in the fall the MCA midwives were my first choice, as they are more convenient to me and historically they'd had great reviews. The less positive posts that started popping up re MCA around that time and the raves for Whitney's group made me change my mind and go for Whitney's practice instead. I do think that the GWU group is the right choice for me, and I'm okay with the distance, although I may be closer to them than you, OP. I think that Whitney is conservative as far as distance to GW, and she may try to discourage you if you ask her about this (she mentioned her concerns about distance at a Meet the Midwives event I attended).

On the other hand, I asked a Birthcare midwife how she felt about my being so far from the birth center ( as I'd prefer to deliver there if I'd gone with them), and she said she had moms coming down from Rockville with no problem. I liked Birthcare btw, I just preferred the hospital setting in the end. I think you'll have to go with your own comfort level on this.  Best of luck, OP.[/quote]
