She only had privileges at one hospital - FV Riverside - so that is where we delivered! After a relatively uneventful pregnancy and going through the standard birthing classes/pregnancy books, we determined to attempt labor without meds but weren't totally against the idea ;) The nursing staff were great throughout labor...I felt supported in my decisions and never pressured into doing meds (even though I eventually did go for the epidural) or augmentation. I also was very appreciative of their support as things started to go not as planned. We ended up with an emergency c-section (caused by the cord being wrapped around his neck a few times...bummer!) and the surgical team was great. I was very glad to be in a facility that was prepared for this and also had a NICU on-site. Post-partum and NICU are on different floors, but the nurses were absolutely fantastic and would even bring me medications while I was visiting our son. For #2 (due in a few months), we considered looking at more "natural birth" options. Since we have had a c-section, we were both a little uncomfortable about a home delivery. We are definitely going to try for a VBAC but are wanting some medical back up if needed ;) I had an opportunity to tour Woodwinds and really appreciate their many options...sadly, it is a long distance from work and home so less of an option. We have decided to use the nurse midwife group at Riverside this go around...very close to my work so easy to get to appointments, I have a parking pass there so no extra costs for that and I also wanted a place where friends and family could easily come and see us after delivery.
