[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know a whole bunch of people who got epidurals for their first births with the GW Midwives (then called Wisdom) and went on to see them for a second pregnancy. Some were encouraged by the midwives to get an epidural. But if you are no longer committed to natural childbirth (I can't blame you after your first experience!), then it's definitely better to go with another practice, because the midwives ask that their "be committed to natural childbirth." That doesn't mean that they wouldn't support your getting another epidural if the conditions came about where you needed one, just that their mindset is to avoid one if it's possible. I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Tham-Metz at GW. You might try seeing her for an appointment to see how it goes. Good luck![/quote]
