  I'm not sure where you're located, but I used Midwifery Care Associates in Rockville off the recommendation of another bumpie and LOVED them.  They deliver at Shady Grove and are associated with a traditional OB practice if you end up becoming high-risk or needing a c-section, etc.

  Thanks, that's helpful.  I should have said where we are!  We're in DC, and would ideally have a practice in DC.

  I'm at BirthCare in Alexandria, which is less than 10 minutes away from INOVA Alexandria. BirthCare is a group midwife practice and I like them a lot. It's also a good location for other services - my Bradley birth classes are held in the same building, as are La Leche League meetings.

  I started out with a group OB practice, Tepeyac, in Falls Church and I liked them a lot too. I only switched because they only deliver at INOVA Fair Oaks and I wanted a birth center experience.

  If you want midwives who deliver in hospital, check out Loudan Community Midwives or the DC Birth Center in NE.

  AaronLS2:

  Trying to pick an OB/midwife.  The gyno recommended GW Medical Faculty Associates, apparently they have integrated midwifery/OB/perinatology.  Anyone have thoughts on that?  Love your OB?  We'd like to use a midwife, but want to make sure there's an OB nearby...

   

  My GYN is associated with the OB practice at GW, and I have a meeting with them next week. I realize that's a long time away, but I could report back, and let you know what I think of them. I've heard a lot of good things, but I haven't hunkered down and done my hardcore research  yet.
