moving when 7 months pregnant-need to choose a doctor

moving mama

I am going to be moving to Ellensburg WA this fall when I am 7 months pregnant and I need to find a good OB or midwife.

I had a c section for my first ( now 3 yrs old) and a VBAC for my second (16 months old) so I really want an ob or midwife who is pro-natural childbirth.

I would love any recommendations. I am willing to drive to Yakima if there are better options there. Any help you can give me would be great. I am kind of freaking out.

I wonder if Ellensberg or Yakima has an ICAN chapter. That would be a good resource for you. Also reach out to local doulas. Doulamatch.net is a great resource. Here is an article about my friend and doula Judi Hull.

Here is the website for a Homebirth midwife in the area who attends VBAC. Even if you are not looking for a home birth, I bet she would have some ideas for you.

Hello, Im a nurse and currently expecting living in Ellensburg WA. 2 GREAT OBs are Dr Ginger Longo and Dr. Bruce Herman. They are both to caring calming great patient advocates and sensitive, I work at the same hospital and have never heard a negative word about them. That would definitely be my recommendation.
