Reston OBs & Natural Childbirth?

Kate654 · December 2011

Does anyone recommend their OB in the NoVA area? (I'm in Reston.) I have a great one, but one of the doctors in the practice (2 doctors total) is very new, and considering she could be the one delivering the baby, I'd feel better if I knew that an experienced doctor was the one delivering.

I also would be interested in switching to a doctor that delivers at the Loudoun Birthing Center/Inn. I haven't decided for sure on natural childbirth. Is there any evidence that epiderals could cause harm to the baby?

Wow, you posted a while ago with no response. :-/ But I had an epidural with DD and LOVED it! I was literally Facebooking during contractions... No joke. There wasn't any harm to her. I will have some back pain every now and then, but I think still worth it.
