We may be relocating to Ashburn/Leesburg area when I'm 37 weeks. Long story, but it's either that or when I LO is 10 weeks old.
Please recommend your OB and hospital so I can start looking into some options now. I bet many offices are not accepting patients delivering in May at this time so I'm sure I'll have slim pickings!
Thanks in advance

I am with Loudoun Physicians for Women in Leesburg. (703) 777-5111) It's a four-OB practice - all female. You usually rotate through all four OBs through your pregnancy as any one of the four can deliver. They all seem very nice - I am officially registered with Dr Cathleen Mills who is my favorite one - I'm really hoping she will the one to deliver my baby but I would be perfectly happy with any of the Drs there.
The nurses and other staff are all very friendly too. Delivery is at the Leesburg Birthing Inn https://www.thebirthinginn.org/ which I have yet to experience but have only heard good reviews about so far.

I live in Reston, and see Dr Terry Allen in Fairfax (because I wanted to deliver at Fairfax Hospital). She is wonderful, returns calls promptly, and caring.

I used to see Diane Barrett, whom I loved (she has offices in Sterling and Reston), but with my insurance change I had to look for a new one. I actually haven't had great experiences with Loudoun Physicians for Women (Dr. Brown wanted to prescribe me Clomid when I came in to see her after a three-months-late period. Clomid is for infertility, to make you ovulate ... which wasn't the problem, I'd had 2 positive ovulation tests during that 3-month period!), but it seems a lot of people love them, so maybe it's a personal thing.
I'm planning to switch to Loudoun OB/GYN -- I've heard wonderful things about Dr. Arshed Choudry from everyone I know who goes to him.
Loudoun OB/GYN and Physicians for Women both deliver at the Birthing Inn at Inova Loudoun, which is apparently phenomenal according to the 10+ friends I have who've delivered there. You can search for affiliated doctors on the Birthing Inn's website (thebirthinginn.org) -- if you're in Ashburn/Leesburg that's likely where you'll want to deliver, since it's the closest. Hope that helps!
