Has anyone used a midwife or doula?  Did you like the experience?  Does Sibley allow them?  Thanks!

    I used a midwives - at a hospital with dr back up (Which I ended up needing).  It was a wonderful experience. I felt like the midwife that delivered me was a lot more available and spent a lot more time in the delivery room with me than my friends who used Doc's only experienced.  It was a wonderful experience.

    Thanks.  That's really helpful.  Where did you deliver?  Are midwives connected to specific hospitals only or can they freelance?

     I used to live in DC, but moved right before I got preggers.  I live about 2 hours south of DC now (Delivered at Rockingham Memorial Hospital) - but ours were connected to the hospital.

    My midwives are with Loudoun Midwives and they deliver at INOVA Loudoun.  They also have a doctor available in case of emergency.

    I went to Physicians & Midwives in Alexandria - they only deliver at Alexandria INOVA.  Would highly recommend them though.

    I am delivering at Sibley and my practice (contemporary women's healthcare) has a midwife.

    I am planning a home birth with a midwife.  So far I've been happy with the care I've received.  In another few weeks, I'll have a more thorough review :)
