[quote=Anonymous]I'm not pregnant now but I have 2 kids and have been following this series of stories and reporting. And OMG I am so glad I am not pregnant reading these. Pregnancy is so fraught with worry and I can only imagine how I would be taking this if I were expecting... I am pretty sure we won't have another baby.

I will say that my Sibley-based GP told me years and years ago not to deliver at Sibley until they had a NICU because she had seen/heard of too many babies having to be sent to Georgetown while the moms stayed there. I didn't even think about the trauma side of it. I delivered (2013 and 2016) at Inova Fairfax and was very pleased with MY care there as well as my babies. I've known 2 women in real life who hemorrhaged and needed multiple transfusions. Both were normal deliveries, no major issues, and the bleeds were not explained. When the shit hits the fan you want to be somewhere that sees it all and has great outcomes, even if the c section rate is a little higher. FWIW, I had vaginal deliveries, pre-e both times in labor but was watched like a hawk for weeks, and lots of great BF support to boot. [/quote]
