[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw one of the obs in Bethesda.  She knows the name of my children and treats me like I am a real human.  She delivered by first baby with forceps after the midwife had me push for 5 hours.  I followed up with her and never looked back.  During COVID-19, I have emailed her and she let me know what days she is in the office.  So continuity has not been an issue. [/quote]

Thanks for the info! Does the Bethesda office run more or less on time? Or do you usually spend a lot if time in the waiting room?[/quote]

OP why exactly are you sticking to the midwives? If your goal is avoiding unnecessary interventions (hint: it’s often not clear which interventions are unnecessary or not in the thick of things and many women prefer to be more interventionist then less when considering their child’s health), you will still get that with the OBs. The OBs are really the best of birth worlds. The midwifery fellows are basically RNs who did a master’s degree. It’s much less training than even a first year resident has. If they aren’t meeting your expectations why would switching locations make a difference? [/quote]
