[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First I will say my birthing suite was not chaotic at all—if anything I wouldn’t have minded more frequent check-ins (not that I felt I was receiving poor care, just that they are not there a lot). Second I wonder if you could compromise by having a birth doula— you would get someone to help you stay in the zone you want to be in but still be at a hospital? [/quote]

My wife gave birth at Washington Hospital Center. She was induced around 2 p.m. and we sort of hung out waiting for stuff to happen. After she got her epidural around 11 p.m or so, they left us to try and rest. Around 1:30 a.m. she was complaining that she couldn't sleep because she felt pressure. We called the nurse, the doctor came in, and they were like "okay, time to push!" This birth and the one before at WHC three years ago were with all women doctors and nurses, and happened late in the night. It was super peaceful, baby went right on her chest and didn't move for at least an hour as they delivered the placenta did a little stitching. IMO, the biggest con of the hospital birth is having to stay two nights if you give birth after midnight of the first day. Otherwise, I would absolutely recommend WHC and their team of doctors and nurses (they also have a midwife group).
