[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I had a conversation w my OB about this last week since I am nearing my due date and was curious about hospitals in the area and how they lean. The impression my OB gave me is that Georgetown will push vaginal birth as the primary mode  with C-Sections really only for medical reasons or mothers choice - but they will assess why you want an elective C and will try to “educate you” on why a vaginal birth is better. That’s how they lean. Sibley has a ton of ama moms and they’re quick with a C section but that’s just a function of who goes there (I think another post digs in on that better than I am rn). OB didn’t provide rates or anything though but knowing philosophies is helpful to me.

I am high risk and would prefer a C bc it “feels” safest to me with my complicating factors, but I’m at Georgetown and they have already indicated (even during this convo w my OB) that they would work to educate me and sway me towards vaginal to the extent it makes sense for my situation. They are open to an elective C, but stated often that maternal and fetal outcomes are better with a vaginal birth. [/quote]
