OB Decisions
So Huz and I visited the midwifery on Friday and spent a good 45 minutes chatting with a Certified Nurse Midwife who has been delivering babies for 20 years, teaches the nurse midwife students on-campus, is from Illinois (woot!), and has very low episiotomy and c-section rates. We loved her. She was thorough, answered all of our questions and then some, and was very easy to talk to. We decided to switch from the OB practice at Baptist Hospital (even though that's the place to give birth around here) in favor of Vanderbilt Midwifery. I think it was a good decision - it will cost us less, it will be more thorough, individualized care that will put us first-timers at ease, and is more patient- (rather than doctor) centered.We should know gender in about a month. Any guesses out there? |
