[quote=Anonymous]I did not have fertility treatment for my first but was obese (250 start weight) and was treated kindly and effectively by the VHC MFM practice — I did not see an OB who delivered at VHC but was considered high risk due to anxiety medication and my weight, so bear in mind that you’ll likely see the MFMs at some point even if everything is fine. The MFMs did my anatomy scan due my weight and then eventually I developed preclampsia. I saw Dr. Akoma who no longer works at VHC but have heard good things about other docs at that practice. They are not alarmist or condescending or overly eager to intervene if not needed. At any rate, I think VHC is a good choice but I don’t have experience with the OB practices that have privileges there. I delivered at Inova Alexandria and do not recommend for a “plus-size-friendly” experience. When seeking trusted opinions based on this previous experience for an OB practice for my second, I was referred to Physicians to Women or Arlington Women’s Center (specifically midwife Karen King, though she does prenatal care only and no longer delivers).[/quote]
