[quote=Anonymous]I live in VA, I'll drive if needed but prefer something closer. I would only deliver in a hospital (at home options are out).

-GW midwives are full.
-WHC midwives are really far, they are a maybe. If you have delivered w them please do share!

My current OB is "ok" with natural birth, but doesn't encourage it. The way she talks about delivery makes her sound high intervention (NGFW @ Fairfax hospital).

I am 24 weeks, I don't have time to interview many OBs, if I switch I want to be sure it's to a great dr or group of
Drs. I am hoping to get info on OBs that support natural birth if I choose to do that, that know ways to aid vaginal birth with positions and labor w/ low intervention. Most importantly one that won't default to a csection right away or based on the clock. If your practice was like this please tell me about them.

For those who find my post offensive or against your opinion, please spare me the lecture about having an ideal birth plan or get mad about it. I don't have a "vision" for this I just want to avoid surgery unless absolutely necessary. I am ok with pain management and other interventions if they help, but I have read that they sometimes lead to surgery.
