  It might be helpful to get some more info on how you define good/what kind of birth you are hoping for.  Also what hospital/insurance you have.  Good luck!

  I used the St Joes Womens Clinic in Tacoma.  They are all female midwife/OBGYNs.  You deliver at St. Joes hospital, which is a great place to deliver!  I had my baby there in April and we have several friends who have all had great things to say about St. Joes.  The nurses there were amazing!  And I have seen 3 of the midwifes in the clinic and I loved all of them.  We are in between Port Orchard & Gig Harbor so we had the option to go to Harrison or one of the Tacoma hospitals.  I haven't heard great things from people that have gone to Harrison.  I will definitely be delivering baby #2 at St Joes in the future!  Hope that helps & congratulations!

  I second this. I saw Rhonda Dicostanzo at St Joesph Women's Clinic and loved her. She was so chill which was great for me because I am so high-strung and I Google myself into thinking I have every disorder on the planet. Her nurse Stephanie is awesome, too.

  I also delivered at St Joes. The nurses were fantastic. We had an awesome experience and no complaints! FWIW, I also had an unmedicated birth and they were very supportive of that. I am going to try for a birth center birth at The Birthing Inn with a licensed midwife next time but if I end up having to have a hospital birth I will definitely go with Rhonda and St Joes again.
