Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has used a midwife or doula in or around the Dothan, AL area. I'm currently using Flowers Hospital and even though I love both the hospital and my Dr...I'm worried about what my birth will be like. With my first pregnancy, I was not allowed to get out of the bed and my Dr (I've got a new Dr now) and nurses strongly pushed an epidural on me. With this pregnancy, I want a natural/med free birth. I'm going to talk to my new Dr and see if she is different than the Dr that delivered my son. Hopefully she'll tell me that I'll be able to move around the room and use a birth ball...BUT, if she doesn't, i'm going to start looking for a midwife or a doula. Please let me know!
P.S. Please ignore my signature and badges...I have NO IDEA how to change/delete them!
Re: Natural/Med free birth in Dothan, AL-Looking for a midwife or doula!
@nhgreen - I don't know a list of doctors supporting VBAC, but I am currently seeing Dr. Phillips with Dothan OBGYN - and she's all for me attempting my second VBAC. In fact, she had two VBACs herself! She's very low-intervention minded if that's what you're looking for. The other two docs in her group (Middleton and Robinson) are on board with VBACs, too. As long as you didn't have an emergency c-section, I think most docs are ok with it.
