Need Reston MW rec's (or Sterling)

in D.C. Area Babies

After reading a lot on here and various online blog experiences with a MW I'm seriously considering one. My OB practice has 5 OB's and I do not feel a good connection with any of them. Also when it comes time for me to deliver it can be whichever doc is on call that day.

Anyone  know of a great MW in the Reston area? I was hoping to deliver at Reston hospital but might also consider the Loudoun Birthing Center in Lansdowne.

    If you ever decide to look into homebirth, the midwives at Birth by Design are great :) Trust your instict -- if you are questioning your OBs, switch!! It's never too late.

    I don't have personal experience with the Loudoun Community Midwives, but have read good reviews about them - they do hospital births: https://www.loudouncommunitymidwives.com/

    I second Loudoun Community Midwives.  I am SO glad I switched and am in love with them all.

    FWIW, if you are looking for a natural birth, I HIGHLY encourage you to stay away from Reston hospital.  They are not natural birth friendly in my opinion (and every doula I have met with told me the same).  I delivered at Reston with my first and not my favorite place for sure.  If you aren't looking for natural birth, then I think it will be fine.

    Reston Hosp does have a high section rate (I had two there so no stones being thrown).  I heard that a few years ago they banned doulas from the delivery rooms b/c of conflicts with the nurses so I agree, if you are looking for a low medical intervention birth Reston probably is not the place.

    I have heard great things about Loudoun though.  I really wanted to deliver there but my OB only delivers at Reston and FFX.  I did attend the walk in nursing help sessions at Loudoun a few times and really liked the feel there.
