[quote=Anonymous]I had a horrible experience with Bloom. I was 28 when I gave birth to my first and during my pregnancy, I used to joke that the doctors would hear a heartbeat and throw me out of the office. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I repeatedly asked the doctors what the hard thing was at the top of my uterus. They told me “parts”. Turns out baby had been breech all along; I only found out after 9 hours of labor. My daughter needed months of physical therapy and I felt like a failure. I was so deferential to my doctors, I felt like I failed to advocate for my baby. It always felt like they weren’t listening to me or paying attention and I was right. I think it is because I was so young by DC standards. It always seemed like I was the youngest one in the waiting room by 10 years.

Now I’m due in October with my second. I cannot say enough good things about Foxhall. I love them. The first couple of times I visited, I was truly shocked at how much time the doctors spent with me. Even my husband was shocked (got pregnant in pre-COVID times). The difference has been night and day. And the administrative staff are also so much nicer.

Best of luck to you![/quote]
