I'm planning on having a natural birth. Any hospitals recommended in NYC / long island? I need to switch to a midwife soon too since my ob gyn thinks I'm crazy for not wanting an IV, and epidural. I also asked if I can delay the baby's cord cutting and she said only for 1 to 2 mins. I hope it's not too late to make the switch, I'm 23 weeks already.
Thank you! I will research more to see where I should go. I hope I can schedule hospital tours soon after Christmas.
Beth Israel midwives are known for being relaxed. I can refer you to an ob at Lennox hill who helped my friend deliver naturally
^^^^100% agree. I switched Dr's to a midwife at about 28 weeks with my last pregnancy. You've got time 😊
It's your child, you can delay the cord cutting as long as you want, don't let them push you around.
