[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind just because you pick a woman OB does not mean you will have a woman, let alone that particular woman, deliver your baby. [b]I can't think of any woman-only practices.[/b] Closest you can get is to go with the midwives at GW and WHC--but if you get risked out and end up in the OB practice, you're back to potentially having a male OB deliver you.[/quote]
The WHC midwives are all female. I've delivered with them twice and 100% recommend them.[/quote]

Right, both WHC and GW midwife practices are all female. But no all-women OB practice is, as far as I know. There's one that delivers at Shady Grove, but that's a hike for someone thinking about GW or Sibley.[/quote]

I'm at Northern Virginia Physicians to Women (VHC) and 4 of their 5 OBs are women.  And I don't think Dr. Elliott does on call deliveries anymore, only scheduled C-sections with his regular patients.  I really like him but I only saw him for one pre-natal appointment with my first child and zero with my second.  He did stop by to send us off from the hospital and signed my discharge papers though.[/quote]
