New mom to be in the northeast CT area.

Hello! Im a new 'to be' mom in Connecticut, just wanting to introduce myself. Im 30 years old and Im five weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy ever! Im hoping that all goes smooth and no miscarriages. 

I recently went on a tour at the Manchester Birth Center at ECHN and am very impressed! Ill be seeing an OB there hopefully. Its a bit of a drive but they seem to cater to natural and water birth more then the other hospitals around me. 

Any new expecting moms out there in my areas?

Also does anyone have experience with ECHN?

Hi and welcome! 

I too and 5weeks pregnant with our first. Congrats to you. We're more in middle eastern ct on the shoreline so I"m not familiar with ECHN.

Hiya,

I'm due 1/16/14 too and live in Simsbury. I've worked at all the state's major hospitals. St. Francis is known for their great maternity ward. Manchester is okay and I think you'll find they're probably most flexible with birth plans. I may suggest a doula if you're strongly opposed to traditional hospital births and prefer more natural methods.

Cheers!
