[quote=Anonymous]I used this thread to find a doctor when I was six months pregnant and about to move to DC from out-of-state, so I figured it was about time that I help somebody else by putting in my two cents.  When I moved here, I was looking for a doctor and not a midwife, but I wanted to go with the natural childbirth route unless there was a good medical reason why it wouldn't be possible.   With only online reviews at my disposal, I ended  up going with Dr. Tham-Metz.  I have to say that I couldn't have made a better choice.  First of all, I liked her a lot better than the doctor I'd had before.  She is patient, invites questions, and generally has a welcoming and calm demeanor.  She was also very receptive to my plan to go natural and suggested I labor at home for as long as possible (probably to help avoid the temptation?).  Unfortunately, she was out of town when I delivered, but everything went smoothly.  The nurses respected my decision to go drug-free.  One nurse, who was particularly wonderful, helped me through natural pain management techniques, and I was handed my baby the second he was born.  I held him for an hour, if not longer, after.  That said, other than wanting to avoid medication and wanting my baby immediately, I didn't really have a plan, so my demands were simple.  If I ver have another child, I will definitely go back to Dr. Tham-Metz.[/quote]
