Where/With Whom Are You Delivering?

ryemoryemo member
in VBAC

I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my second. Because we're really committed to a VBAC but want to be in a hospital, we chose the midwife with the highest hospital VBAC rate in town. I contemplated staying home, but my mom (who is a midwife and was a huge support during DD's birth) was way against it, and I need her full support. What is everyone else doing?

    With an OB at the hospital. We don't really have any other options here. There is a midwife group, but I love my OB actually. She is very pro-VBAC, and I think is secretly working to get her VBAC rates super high (which is fine with me!).

    I do plan to labor at home for a very very long time. Like, maybe to the point where I can get to the hospital and push the kid out, the end. 

    At least, that is the plan :)

    This time around with a midwife that my my retiring OB recommended to me.  We will be going to the hospital that I have given birth in the previous two times, I actually like it there despite it being a hospital.

    The original plan was OB in a hospital, but in my area that pretty much means a repeat cesarean.  So now we're doing a homebirth with a midwife and I'm really excited!  We still haven't told our families though.

    I changed to a Family Practice Doctor who was recommended and will be birthing in a hospital with a doula.  If we had a birthing center in the area, I would have done that.  Midwives around here can't work in the hospitals (Boo) and I just don't see myself being a relaxed homebirther.

    hi neighbor! i'm also in alexandria!

    none of the providers in this area had rates low enough for my comfort, plus,  i wanted no part of a hospital birth anyway! i have always been drawn to homebirth.

    for our second baby, a vbac, we planned and had a homebirth with a CPM (certified professional midwife)

    Lindsey, I'm going to Whitney Pinger who just started delivering at GW. So far, of 28 births there, they've had 1 CS and a 19% epidural rate. Who did you deliver with?
