  I am 27 weeks here and planning to birth there. We have a tour this weekend... I'll let you know how it goes. Otherwise, I'm interested in other peoples' experiences, too! Especially because we are planning/hoping for an unmedicated, intervention-free birth, so I'm really interested in their practices there.

  I just delivered at Pomerado two weeks ago and Dr. Eastman is my OB.
  Pomerado was great! All of the nurses I had 6 or 7 while there were so nice. I only had one that I didn't like quite as much, but think it was a "connection" thing, not based on care. I would highly recommend it. The maternity ward was quiet and they were pretty relaxed with regards to visitor times, which was helpful for me.
  Dr. Eastman is great! I chose her because I saw an old "review" of her on here saying she is phenomenal so I thought that was good. : honestly, I didn't feel certain about her until 3rd tri and delivery because I think I expected more info to be offered instead of needing to ask about everything. I have since read that most OB's don't just offer up their thoughts. She is a gentle doctor and did help me have the best birth experience no discussion of csection even when I feared it might come up fever, high BP. I highly suggest Dr. Eastman and Pomerado. GL TTC!

  They have tubs you can labor in of you request it. I planned to, but my water broke so I could not, but my nurse was happy to let me try the shower. I did get an epidural loved that lady too!, but I heard someone else down the hall, who must have been going medfree so I am sure they let people do it.
  
  I will say that I wish there was more of a place to walk and look around or I was able to go outside more. The hallway was kind of boring for my labor walks preepi, but walking helped my pain level a lot.

  Oh awesome, I will totally request a tub! Here's hoping my water doesn't break when I want to use it... Thanks for the info!
