[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on your doctor. The nice thing about holy cross is a doctor from your practice will handle the delivery rather than a resident. I had two deliveries at holy cross. One was with my regular doctor and it was very low intervention, but it was also a short and uncomplicated labor. I got an epidural but delivered the baby a few minutes later. The second time, I didn’t want any medication. I had a different doctor who very early wanted to speed things along with pitocin, which I didn’t want to do. I felt rushed and stressed. I was able to walk around the room until it was time to push, but then I definitely had to be in the position they wanted me to be in. The doctor was fine and caring in the end, but there was just a lot of unnecessary stress along the way, and I didn’t feel listened to. I did feel like I was in good hands overall if anything were to have gone wrong. The nurses were very kind both times. If I were to do it again, I would consider switching to shady grove midwives as I’ve heard good things, and I want to be at a hospital, but without someone trying to speed me along. [/quote]
