FWIW, I had three nurses attend the birth since there wasn't enough time for my OB to get there and the resident OB was in a section at the time of my son's birth. It's a good place that really values women. My postpartum nurses rocked and just smiled as we nursed and co-slept.

aanysea - I don't know that anybody can answer the financial question for you as it depends on your insurance and and interventions you might have. For example, I paid a $20 co-pay for my first prenatal visit and everything was covered (every visit, every test, hospital stay, etc) - no matter what I had done.

Congrats!! I read your birth story in your DDC. Thank you for coming back and updating here.

Wish you a speedy recovery and enjoy!!!

does anyone know of their stance on vbac? I saw someone said that St Mary's was good. I really want to try for a vbac this time around, and I know that at St John's that's nearly impossible. I also am looking into homebirth or possibly even an unattended birth but I'm keeping all options open.
