[quote=Anonymous]Looking for some suggestions for offices to call as a new patient. I currently have an ob/gyn but she is t taking new OB patients is my understanding. I just found out I am pregnant so need to get a move on fast. 
Previously did midwives in a center but ended up having a C-section after two days of labor. I was not pleased with my care so iffy on midwives again. And I did not like my PP experience at AAMC. They left my baby on my chest in the post surgical room and walked away. I was still drugged and couldn't move myself into a comfortable position. My husband was there but couldn't hold our baby and help me adjust. And they literally weren't in the room. They also were awful communicators and allowed visitors when I asked to be left alone for a few hours to sleep.

So my question is two-fold 
What hospitals would you suggest? I see a lot of great feedback on inova Fairfax and Georgetown. Any others to consider? Willing to drive 30-40 but should stay on east side of beltway.

Is anyone super pleased with their scheduled c section and OB, specifically scar. My first scar is barely visible and although I'd like to attempt a vbac I was told by a provider not to as related to perineum length. I was out of it for my first - up for 40 plus hours, pushed for 4+, had shakes the entire time I was on the table. I want to be able to use a clear drape and have skin to skin. I didn't get skin to skin with my baby until the PP room.
