[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved my births at Sibley but it is definitely more difficult to have a “midwife-like experience” there. So you are right to cross it off your list.[/quote]

Agreed.  I don't think Sibley is anti-doula but there is a not a midwife practice there.  I am sure certain providers have a bit more of the midwife mindset but I don't think Sibley is your best choice[/quote]

I had two unmedicated births (with a doula) at Sibley. I think your “experience” is going to be more dictated by how your body responds to labor. I didn’t need interventions and I didn’t get interventions. However, I’ve got a friend who went for a midwife-assisted birth at GW and ended up needing a c-section because that’s what was best for her and baby.[/quote]

I completely agree with this poster. I delivered twice at sibley (unmedixated, but no doula) and it was great. I moved around a ton, there was a birthing ball, and I don’t remember much else because I was iN LABOR. the recovery room was private and peaceful, and I went home early.  Your birth is dictated by your birth, not who you have around you or the place you are. [/quote]
