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.

it's never too late, when it comes to a care provider never settle. find someone you like and trust. who will follow through with what you want for your birth bc how they view birth will strongly impact how it plays out

^^^^100% agree. I switched Dr's to a midwife at about 28 weeks with my last pregnancy. You've got time 😊

Beth Israel midwives are known for being relaxed. I can refer you to an ob at Lennox hill who helped my friend deliver naturally

Thank you! I will research more to see where I should go. I hope I can schedule hospital tours soon after Christmas.

It's your child, you can delay the cord cutting as long as you want, don't let them push you around.
