[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disappointing to hear about your experience at AAMC. I am also in AAco and considering going to a DC-based practice [/quote]

Some people have great experiences and others I know have selected to look outside AAMC for their subsequent births. I really think it is a mixed bag. I also think your delivery plays a part as well- if it is super stressful or long, you just have less bandwidth versus a scheduled csection. I also want to assume time played a part as well. My csection was at 11pm so this was overnight shift. No lactation consultant. I had a great nurse my last day but otherwise, the nurses I had seemed overworked and annoyed. There was no food until breakfast, so I had been without food for 58 hours by the time breakfast arrived. Will know better next time as far as snacks! I dont have a lot of experience being a patient in the hospital in general so that may also play a role with expectations.

I figure I will have more monitoring since I am AMA this time around so an office an hour away doesnt seem great since I dont get paid maternity leave and need to save my leave. Are there specific practices that you are looking at? I hear great things about Inova Fairfax but its a haul.
