[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just delivered my second at GW with the OBs. I knew I wanted an epidural so the midwives were not for me. L&D was great both times and post-partum care was much better this time. I was nervous about PP care due to some issues last time and was pleasantly surprised this time. I only had one so-so nurse during one of the nights. The rest were wonderful and made me feel taken care of, unlike the nurses during my first experience.

Also, my epidural didn’t work with my first child so, this time, I spoke with a GW anesthesiologist early in my third trimester. Per her advice, when I got to L&D, I requested to have the attending do my epidural, not the resident. They listened, were understanding, and respected my request. Both times, there were very few other women delivering when I was (second time I was the only one in triage and they got me into a room within 10 minutes) so I never felt that it was crowded or frantic. Unfortunately, I think this was just luck. I’ve heard of women having to deliver in triage so who knows.

That being said, I made the decision to stick with GW based on my experience with their prenatal care, which I found superior to CWC.[/quote]

I had the exact same experience to the letter. Congrats,PP.

OP, I'd definitely recommend GW. Just tell them you don't want students observing and prefer attending physicians whenever possible. (I was fine with students coming in etc. so don't feel bad, they'll have plenty of chances to learn without you). You have a very good reason to not want to have reminders of your earlier experiences (and you may want to share the reason behind your preferences if you feel comfortable.) [/quote]
