I am writing to see whether anyone has had experience with West Surburban Midwife Assoc. in Oak Park, IL and the hospital (West Suburb.) at which they are based. I went to meet with one of their midwives this week and it was great and am thinking about transferring to them from Northwestern which I've not been happy with. Before doing this I wanted to find out a little more information. Specifically, have any of you had a baby delivered by this group of midwives and how was your experience? Also, if there were any complications with your birth that resulted in intervention and the involvement of hospital staff/drs, how was this? Did you find the hospital to be competent and responsive to you and the midwives? What about postpartum care at the hospital? Oh, and one more: did you have any problems with getting into one of the two alternative birthing rooms when you were in labor?
This is such a big decision and it has been a bit overwhelming for me and my husband to find the right match and then go for it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
