[quote=Anonymous]Doula here. Sibley has a 44% CS rate. Not a judgment but you should be aware that they do not cater to low intervention births. Of course, they happen there, but not often. I would look at GW. Even if you can't get in with the midwives, the OBs are great and many OB patients are attended by a midwife if they want a natural birth. They are all part of the same practice. As a result of the growing midwifery practice, the OBs and nurses are a lot more comfortable with and familiar with natural birth.

I agree you should also look into a doula. Try doulamatch.com. However, she will do her job best if you have a provider who genuinely believes in the kind of birth you want. If you have a provider who is only comfortable with a high level of intervention, a doula can't completely overcome that.

All women have a right to birth as they choose. I truly think there are many Sibley providers who offer exactly the births their clients want. But they may not offer the birth YOU want. [/quote]
