[quote=Anonymous]OP, I delivered both my children with MCA and love the practice!  I ended up with an epidural after a long (long) labor with my first, and just delivered my second unmedicated with them last week.  The midwives were wonderfully supportive in both instances, and SG was terrific.  No one batted an eyelash when I walked the halls endlessly during my first labor, or told me to be quiet when I was yelling through contractions during my second.  I think they see a fair amount of women deliver unmedicated because MCA are there, so they're used to supporting women through that experience.  The hospital also recently received a baby-friendly designation, and we had a blissful 90 minutes of skin-to-skin time when our son was born last week.  We had plenty with our daughter, too, but the change was still noticeable.

One thing to note about MCA is that they refer for sonograms, but the practice to whom they refer, Greater Washington Maternal Fetal Medicine, is truly outstanding.  We always saw Dr. Gallagher and loved him.  Some people find it a pain to go elsewhere for sonos, we didn't mind since the practice is so great.  Just wanted to mention that.

Good luck with whatever you decide![/quote]
