Natural birth at Lake Forest?

aprilandshane · October 2010

I'm interested in a low intervention birth, as close to natural as possible. Can anyone share their experiences or birth stories from Lake Forest? I'm just wondering how receptive they really are. Also, does anyone know if they allow you to have a doula?

Thank you!

I didn't not have a natural child birth and didn't have a doula however I gave birth at LFH. I never felt pressure to use any form of pain management it was definitly totally up to me what interventions be used. GL sorry I couldn't be more help.

I had a c/s, so I'm not much help. However, I can say that my experience at LFH was fantastic!

We have the exact same due date! Will you be going to Lake Forest again this time?

Lol! I didn't notice that before! Yes, I'll be at LFH again.

I wasn't pressured into pain meds (I asked for them!) but they were not open to me moving around during labor. My water broke before I got to the hospital but I wasn't contracting. So, they hooked me up to an IV and a pitocin drip and made me stay in bed on my back. I was really not happy about that.
