Water births at Methodist
Just an FYI, I saw my MW for my annual appt today and she said they are doing water births now at Methodist. Not for me because I'm still going to count as a VBAC mom, so that sucks. But still, if that's something you're looking for, I thought people might be interested in knowing. I know they didn't have that option when I was there with my last one.

Re: Water births at Methodist
I would love to go to Dr. Hartung. If I were having multiples or complications, I would make the drive to see him, no question.
But I'm way on the other side of the cities. And I really love the MWs at Methodist. I'd give up birthing in a tub for them.
I'm really hoping to have a water birth there this time!
Side note, do you usually see the same MW when you go? I always make my appointments on Fridays since I'm off, but that means I've only met two of the MWs. I've been wondering if I should switch up my appt. days so I have the opportunity to meet a few more since who knows who will be on call when I deliver.
I usually saw Kira, but sometimes I would switch it up. They are really all wonderful, so I did end up with a few that I had never met while I was in labor (long labor, lots of midwives). I don't think I was at a disadvantage having someone that I hadn't met. They really all do have very similar philosophies.
Thanks, that makes me feel better since it's so easy to go on my day off. I did see Kira once and she was great, my other appointments have been with Aszani and I really like her as well.
So looking forward to using the new tubs in September when I have my little one!
I'm on my 3rd appointment this week and it's the 3rd midwife I've seen. My appointments have been on Wednesday and Thursdays. I like that I will meet a lot before delivery since any of them could be on call when I go into labor!
