What part of the country? In many places, not so much Manhattan, there are very active online local moms groups. Otherwise, truly just hanging out at the park will be a great way to meet moms with similar schedules. Does Meetup have an option for this? I know it is great for other things. [ Reply | More ]

I am only a small sample - but FWIW I liked babycenter with my first baby for the updates on development each week, and comparing development notes online with people due around your time is great (if you are well off though, I would leave that out... def attracts LMC/WC crowd). However, I made a mistake in meeting up with someone from my birth club (month/year you're due) IRL to try to make friends. It was odd,was a little sad we didn't meet again - but then I read later that she flunked the postpartum psych exam done in NJ. Thought I dodged a bullet. Takeaway is it's like internet dating... never know what you'll get IRL. All that being said - start taking classes ASAP on how to care for baby at the hospital where you'll deliver; ask the pediatrician you'll choose; take prenatal yoga or whatever. Everyone is in your boat the first time around, so most people will be friendly because they want to make that new mom connection, too. GL! [ Reply | More ]

I didn't have a doula so this is just a random musing ... I'd try to figure out how she and DH are going to share roles (or have separate roles?) during the birth. My DH is very hands on, so she would have more of a supporting role to him - but if your DH wants to be less involved, then she would be more active. Or maybe you're not sure yet and you want her to play it by ear, etc. [ Reply | More ]

np: I found passing the placenta the worst part of labor. It's slimy and squishy and blobby and just disgusting. I had no problem with my dh seeing all of labor and me at my finest animal moment, but the fact that he saw my placenta makes me weirdly upset. It's just so utterly disgusting. It's an organ you expel from your body when you're done with it! Amazing, but just not something I want any part of after expulsion. [ Reply | More ]

Isn't the whole point of hiring a doula is for her to be with you as a birth coach? I'm a few weeks ahead of you, and my DH wants to be there and involved, but honestly neither of us has seen anyone give birth before. We have no idea what to do! Yes, yes, do what is natural, but experienced doulas have been to hundreds of births and are trained in tricks to assist a woman in labor, such as positions to rotate into, etc. We also wanted her to basically translate what the medical staff is saying, and give us advice, in her opinion, as to whether the doctors and nurses are doing something that is to help them only or to help me (i.e. lay flat, take pitocin, have epidural, etc.). I wouldn't send a doula out of the room to deal with my family. That is not her role. [ Reply | More ]

Who are you using? You didn't talk to her about this stuff when you interviewed her before hiring? Most doulas are also lactation consultants and the post-partum visits are to check on you and the baby, to see if you need any help breastfeeding or with the latch or have any questions about the baby and breastfeeding(I'm sure I will). One post-partum visit will be right after you get home from the hospital, and the second will be about a week later. The two pre-natal visits are prep work for the delivery, where she is going to discuss with you options and what goes on from her point of view, suggest positions for labor and delivery, talk about laboring at your home (mine wants me to labor at home with her for at least 4 to 5 hours before the three of us go to the hospital together (me, DH, her), talk about your birth plan, your willingess or ability to take a variety of pain meds, explain her role, etc. Your pre-natal visits probably won't start until 30-32 weeks for the first and the second at 36 weeks or so. You are overthinking this--you don't need to "make work" for her. She's paid for a very specific, short-time period task. [ Reply | More ]

Have your doula offer advice to DH on how to be an effective coach. You (and he) will want the support that he can give if he is confident. Little things go a long way: do not offer a pregnant women a choice ("Do you want some water?") - give them the water straw. Women in labor can't make decisions from a rational place and when they are asked to decide something like do I want some water? it is sometimes a hard choice. So the coach shoves the straw in their face and if no water is needed a simple head shake is an answer. DH and the doula should decide who will be playing gatekeeper and keeping the right amount of visitors that you are comfortable with in or out. [ Reply | More ]

No recommendations, but from the peanut gallery, you sound like kind of a high-maintenance patient, which is different from a high-risk pregnancy.

If you are in NY, I had a great experience using Sandy Woods, a midwife who delivers at Roosevelt in the birthing center. She works out of the same office as Dr Moritz, who does high risk, has a great ultrasound in his office etc, so you can see both of them at the same time. He is an absolute sweetheart -- funny, kind and a very good doctor. I saw him twice through my last pg when I had placenta previa that had to be monitored, but saw Sandy the rest of the time [ Reply | More ]

Thank you for the reco. I've heard of Sandy & Dr. Moritz... I'm probably being a baby about this (no pun intended), but I'm not sure how I'll feel about delivering naturally with a male doctor. I kind of want someone who has been through the experience, but I'm probably being silly. Did you deliver in the Birthing Center? What was your experience? Also, I've read that there are no fetal monitors which freaks me out. I want to go drug-free, but not completely technology free. [ Reply | More ]

No there are monitors, and you are prepped for a drip if needed etc. Do you feel uncomfortable about make doctors in general, and would prefer a woman? I delivered twice in the birthing center, but because there were no complications, Dr Moritiz did not deliver, Sandy Woods did. He just gave me a few sonograms, checked me out once or twice when I got bronchitis, things like that. It is great knowing that he is in the office next door if needed. If my placenta pre via had not cleared in the 7th month, then he would have been doing my c-section for example. [ Reply | More ]

I'm in your shoes, but was not happy with midwifes. they are frequently dismissive of your concerns, and refused to give me an ultrasound after a miscarriage (turned out I still had fetal tissue). They take an "everything is normal" approach, when at 35+, a lot of times they aren't. you're at an increased risk for birth defects which may require a lot of testing, and you probably want someone to keep an eye out for a healthy baby, not just a drug-free delivery.

Midwives generally do not like to do unnecessary tests or ultrasounds because no one knows the long term effects of all these tests. I had 2 ultrasounds (at 11 and 20 weeks) and a few of my friends thought I was insane. But my midwife was amazing and didn't need anything but her hands to tell how big the baby was or where the head was. If you're not into that, go with an OB. [ Reply | More ]

Thx for your feedback. I usually lean on the side of least invasive approach when it comes to my own health, and am generally not neurotic, but now that I'm pregnant (and it's my first) I'm feeling really torn. I almost want the best medicine has to offer up UNTIL the delivery, at which point I want to be able to control my own labor, go drug-free, but also know that the baby is being monitored closely in the event that something goes wrong that can't be easily detected. I know, I sound crazy and like I'm talking out both sides but I have to think I'm not alone feeling this way? :) That said, it sounds like a midwife who is partnered with a great OBGYN is prob the best bet for me?

Midwives are experts on prenatal care, childbirth and all of the reproductive organs. And the vast majority of midwives much prefer having their patients labor and deliver with no drugs. You really have to search for a doctor that is completely comfortable letting a woman labor without interventions and on her body's timetable. [ Reply | More ]

Thank you all for your wonderful replies so far! I am in NYC and have been leaning towards St. Luke's Roosevelt (if I went the midwife route), or Cornell for the OB/Doula route. However, I've heard that a lot of ppl "plan" to use the birthing center but many times don't get to use it for one reason or another (not enough staff, in labor too long etc). So I feel like if I'm just gonna end up in L&D anyway, I'd rather be someplace w/exceptional care. That said, I've heard Cornell no longer allows doulas, and I expect I would have no chance doing naturally w/o one there. Why do they make this so hard on us to figure out? :) The other caveat... I need an OB or DR that takes Aetna. [ Reply | More ]

i am a health care person and have a lot of friends who are midwives and delivered both my kids at SLR w/midwives-first w/Sandy Woods, second w/Sylvie Blaustein. If you want natural childbirth-go w/midwives-you will get excellent prenatal care-midwives spend tons of time w/their patients and provide excellent care during the pregnancy-if something comes up-hi risk-they co-manage you w/a doctor-this happened to me when i had gest diabetes w/db #2-saw the hi risk docs at the hosp to manage the diabetes, saw midwives too for prenatal visits and still was able to deliver w/midwife on the regular l&d floor (had db #1 at birth center-awesome place). most ob's are geared towards using interventions and managing things medically which lowers the chances of having a natural birth w/o epidural.

Thanks again to everyone for their feedback. It helps to "talk things through" with others who have experience. I've decided to book consults with Dr. Moritz, and Dr. Amy Huang. I think with my first, I'm still a bit nervous about going with a midwife completely, but from what I've heard Dr. Moritz and Huang are both supportive of natural birth, as is SLR, so I feel like that is the best option for me at this time. Despite the fact that all of my friends have delivered at Cornell, NYU & Mt. Sinai...all amazing hospitals, with incredible doctors, I think I'm leaning towards SLR, OB & a doula. [ Reply | More ]
