[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who have given birth in the past, looking back, which was more important to you - the specific doctor you saw throughout the pregnancy/ who delivered you or the hospital at which you delivered.  My current OB delivers only at Sibley and while I like her, I have heard better things about GW.  Is it worth leaving a DR you like or love for a different hospital?  I am not high-risk so that really isn't an issue.  Any experiences you have had or opinions would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]

OP, what type of birth are you interested in?  Because if you want an epidural and you love your dr I think Sibley is fine.  I know plenty of people, including myself, who had babies there and were happy enough.  Some vaginal, some c-sections, though I don't really know anyone who had a baby there who wanted a natural birth.  I do think a lot of the other hospitals in the area are nicer, and you don't have to pay for a private room, but that alone would not cause me to switch.  If you want a natural birth then I would switch.  Or if you didn't like your OB and were looking for someone new, then I would find someone at a different hospital.  [/quote]
