[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had both my kids with the midwives at GW. During my 2nd labor, the midwife bought me a few extra pushes to get the baby out myself and for that I am thankful. My husband said the OB team was literally in the doorway ready to wheel me to surgery.

My first labor I was the last L&D bed at GW before they started diverting to Sibley. My labor was long and my doula told me frankly “if you had gone to Sibley, that baby would not have come out of your vagina” [/quote]

I had three with GW OBs.  The second kid, I signed a consent form for a c section and DH was in scrubs but they gave me a few more minutes to see if I could get baby out quickly myself (his heart rate was dropping).  I birthed him vaginally and I/hewas fine with great Apgar, and I appreciated that why were ready to do what it took to keep baby safe while giving me a full chance to avoid c section.   If he were my first, he probably would have been a c since first time moms often need more than 15 minutes of pushing.  [/quote]
