[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]someone on your other thread said that they thought the hospital would be the bigger problem and I just want to say I strongly disagree with that. It is far more important who your Dr/midwife is than what hospital/health center you deliver at. As long as you have a Dr./midwife who knows your preferences and supports you in them, the hospital itself could not care less what you do...I think the person who posted that probably says that because there are a high number of babies born via c-section at Inova Fairfax but this is primarily because of the large number of high risk patients who go to that hospital, not because the hospital is pushing c-sections. If you find a good OB, your Dr./midwife will work as an advocate for you. Plus, I want to add, I had a natural birth at Inova Fairfax and it was no big deal at all because my Dr was on my side, but also because the nurses there were really great and supportive too. Best of luck[/quote]

Thanks, but who was your doc?[/quote]

My Dr. was Sona Patel-Grimm. She works with CWC. I didn't mention the Dr. before because I am hesitant to recommend the practice--there are 6 Drs in the practice and I don't think they are particularly natural-birth friendly overall. I think I just got lucky, really, that it was Dr. Patel who was on call when I went into labor. If one of the other Dr.s had been the one to deliver my baby, things may have gone very differently, as several ofthe Dr.s in the practice have high #s of c sections.[/quote]
