[quote=Anonymous]I delivered my first baby with MCA in April-- Nina attended the birth.  She was not my favorite CNM in the practice based on my experiences at my prenatal appointments, but she was great at delivery-- very encouraging, respected my birth plan, etc.  During pushing the baby's heartrate was dropping dramatically and she basically told me to get my ass in gear and push the baby out or I would be looking at a c-section.  Once the baby was crowning, she was very good at guiding me to avoid a tear-- I ended up with a very small 2nd degree that healed in about a week.

The waits in the office are pretty reasonable-- shorter than when I was a patient at Georgetown.  Angel is my favorite, followed by Karen.  I almost never feel rushed at appointments and they are pretty responsive to phone calls.  Overall, I would recommend the practice, but not if you're looking for a really touchy-feely birth experience.  They are fairly medicalized for midwives, but as a nurse I'm comfortable with that.

Good luck with your pregnancy![/quote]
