[quote=Anonymous]As PP have said, a doula is really your best bet to provide the emotional / physical support to help you have a natural birth. They can also help you feel comfortable not going in to the hospital earlier than you need to, and doing most of your laboring at home is really a great way to avoid unnecessary interventions. As to the GW midwife practice (Wisdom) - you may be too late because they are very popular, so 'fill up' quickly with patients. There are various reasons for this, but the biggest one is probably that there are very limited options in this area for midwife supported births in a hospital setting. (In case it matters I had my first at Sibley, getting an epidural during what turned out to be transition. Delivered my second unmedicated with Wisdom at WHC before Whitney moved to GW.)[/quote]
