My mom, my sister and I all see Kelly O'Connor in Ypsilanti. My sister did end up having a c-section, but her baby had interutering growth retardation (had stopped growing). On my sister's request, they did an induction for 48 hours before doing the c-section. My sister just wasn't dilating.
With me, talk of a c-section never even came up while I was in labor.
I loudly second Metro Partners in WH in Novi...I saw their midwives and loved them all! We had a great natural birth at the Alternative Birthing Center at Providence in Southfield.
Re: OB Recommendation
Again, not sure what area, but I have had two with
Metro Partners in Women's Health in Novi.
They deliver out of Providence and( will be delivering out of ) Providence Park..
I used a midwife for my second and had switched to Dr. LaCoste with my third since I had Pregnancy Induced Hypertension.
I also have huge babies( 10 lbs 2 oz and 11 lbs 2 oz) and neither the midwives nor Dr. LaCoste even suggested a c-section.
They were all very respectful of what my wishes were.
They are awesome.

So, if you are on the westside I would highly recommend them.
I know there are a few other moms here who have used them and would rave about them too.
Good luck!!
