Hello! Ftm 13 weeks here, we were wanting to deliver at the birthing center in bryn mawr, but my husband is still very uncomfortable with not bing at a hospital so we are exploring other options. I want to go as naturally as possible and am afraid of hospitals that are "csection happy"..unless it is medically necessary in which case, totally for it... I've heard good things about Pennsylvania hospitals new private maternity suites and also their midwife practice..
Does anone have any experience with delivering at Pennsylvania hospital with the midwife practice there? From what I can tell they have all new PRIVATE maternity rooms there now which is huge! I wouldn't even consider going there if I had to share a room!
Any info/experiences would be oh so helpful! Thank you!
Re: Pennsylvania Hospital New private rooms/midwife experience?
Also Bryn Mawr hospital is across the street from the birth center I believe. I don't know for sure, I delivered my first two at Jefferson and my 3rd at Lankenau

I had a fantastic experience at Jeff too, but we are 5 minutes from both Lankenau and BM, it seemed crazy to go in to the city for all the appts, especially since I had two I had to arrange child care for. It is nice that we have so many great options around here!

We recently learned that about the Delco midwives, since there wasn't always one on call we decided not to go with them. We've decided to go with Pennsylvania hospital midwifery. I had my first apt with them today and the midwife I saw was very knowledgable and they seem to have a system that really supports the natural birth I want, while still being I'm a hospital in case of emergency is comforting to us. It seems to be the best of both worlds! We are taking bradley method classes and then we will decide if we can swing the $ for a doula!
