Mercy Anderson Natural Childbirth

Hi there, I'm pregnant with my second. The L&D of my first went just fine but I was in Canada =P. I've recently been looking into natural childbirth with my second and I'm hoping to find a midwife or douala; someone to support me with that drug-free decision while in labour. My current OB/GYN group is in Mt. Orab and they exclusively deliver at Mercy Anderson but they have no midwives. And while that's an hour drive for me I hear the hospital is good.  Any advice? Anyone know of any midwives or douala in Highland or Brown County (first options),  Adams or Clinton County and finally Clermont?

    My practice had multiple midwives and they too deliver at Anderson. The office is directly across the street from the hospital. It's Seven hills womans health. I see the doctors, but know many who see the midwives and are very happy. It's a drive, but may be worth it. Clermont Mercy doesn't have L&D.

    I didn't have a natural delivery but I am also with Womens Health Center and delivered at Anderson Mercy.  It's about 45 minutes from my house to the hospital. I love the practice and love the hospital.  It was a great experience.

    Maybe if you can't change practices you can go with a doula to help support you. I just saw in another post about the doulas meeting tomorrow at a local shop in Montgomery. That would be a great place to network and ask lots of questions.Smile

    I go to Seven Hills Women's Health Center and see the midwives. They are great! I am planning on having a natural birthing experience and they back me up 100%! If you are looking for a doula, I am using Eileen Ryan. She is a little pricey but is one of the best in the greater Cincinnati area. I do have a friend that is a doula that I would have used but she is due with her baby boy just weeks before my due date. She is much more reasonably priced.

    Here is a great site to find a local doula: https://www.cincinnatidoulas.org/

    Good luck. PM me if you ever want to chat. I am in Batavia... not far from Mt. Orab at all.

    I also go to Seven Hills women's center in Anderson township. I couldn't be more happy with the level of care and information I receive there. They deliver at Mercy Anderson and have midwives on staff. The wonderful aspect of this practice is that they go with YOUR plan (within reason of course). I love them!

    Anyone delivered at Anderson Mercy and know if they have portable telemetry so you can walk during labor?
