[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you're open to natural birth, consider Wisdom Midwifery at GW. They are amazing and if you seriously want a natural birth, it's a great practice to help you achieve that. They also work closely with the GW OB team, who will be right outside your room should you need OB care during labor.[/quote]

I like the idea of natural birth, but honestly I just don't feel super strongly about it and would like to be able to chicken out if I felt like it. What are the pros and cons of making the decision so early in the pregnancy? How did you all decide?[/quote]

I felt the same way and went with GW MFA. I ended up having an unmedicated birth. I probably should have gone with the midwivery option earlier on but like you, I wanted to have the option of pain relief. It worked out well - it wasn't my OB on call when I delivered but my nurse was incredible. She read through my birth plan and was on board with it (encouraged me to try different positions, made sure I got the wireless fetal monitor so I could move around [this was necessary in my case] etc). She tried to make it as calm as possible in the room for me (and DH).

On the rec. I really like Dr. Gaba.[/quote]
