[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had three medicated (by choice) vaginal births at Sibley and I EBFed all three for 6+ months. I found Sibley supportive and not pushy. There is a lactation consultant who visits. My OB would have let me be unmedicated if I'd wanted to (they also would have given me a c section if I'd asked). I think if you're looking for somewhere that PUSHES unmedicated/vaginal/EBF, Sibley is not the best bet, but they're perfectly supportive. Your OB practice matters more ultimately.[/quote]

I delivered at Sibley in November and had a similar experience (no epi, EBF, vaginal).  The nurses were great and supportive.  Research/ talk to your OB, but otherwise I would recommend Sibley.  I had similar concerns as you and in retrospect gave too much weight to this board and a very alarmist doula (who I did not hire - I went with someone else).  I've since heard from several mom friends who delivered at GW this fall that they had a bad experience - hospital was overcrowded and tried to (or did) push them out after one night, chaotic delivery and recovery environment, etc.  [/quote]
