Anyone delivered in Flower Hospital?
I am planning an all natural, no pain med VBAC. I live in Bryan, OH, but drive all the way to Sylvania for prenatal care at Associates in Women's Health, a midwife group overseen by Dr. Jackson, DO. I LOVE them so far!
I haven't yet toured Flower Hospital, but that is the hospital they recommended for being natural birth/VBAC friendly. Anyone else had experiences with the staff there who were also planning a natural birth?
I want a hep lock, no continuous monitoring, delayed cord clamp, no bathing of baby, etc. Are they truly friendly to such things?
Re: Anyone delivered in Flower Hospital?
I delivered there. They are pretty open to what you want. I tried to go natural and my nurse was very helpful. However, I did get an Epidural.
I loved Flower, it is smaller, nice, and everyone was very attentive.
Good Luck
I had my OB clinical there and I would say that by hearing what kind of birth you're looking for, they're probably the right choice for you. All of the nurses I worked with were amazing
)
I delivered my kids at Toledo because they have a NICU.
For some reason...I read this as 'everyone was very attractive' and I thought to myself "why would it matter if they were attractive, I certainly didn't notice whether everyone was very attractive when I gave birth" (thinking to myself perhaps that was the difference in getting an epidural).
Don't mind me, I'm sleep-deprived.
Word. LOL
I did not deliver at Flower, but I did tour there in case I would need to. I also go to Associates of Women's Health, and I loved them! I had my daughter at St. Luke's, but because of how busy they are, I toured Flower in case St. Luke's was full. The staff was great during our tour. They have two rooms with jacuzzis, which, if I remember correctly, they try to save for women who want med free births in case they want to labor in there.
I am sure you will continue to love the midwives and Dr. Jackson as well. Irma was the one on call when I had my daughter, but I ended up having to have a c-section because we discovered she was face out. Dr. Jackson was at Flower at the time, but he was at St. Luke's in a half an hour when they called him. I didn't have much experience with him before, but I really liked him a lot. I want to try for a VBAC as well whenever we have baby #2. I feel like the entire staff is so attentive and caring, which I have not always felt before.
Our baby girl!!
