I am 20 weeks pregnant. I am from Baton Rouge, but after living in Dallas for 9 years, have found myself living temporarily in Baton Rouge again. I am feeling frustrated about the natural birthing options here and would love some resources!
I am currently seeing a doctor at Woman's but really don't want to have a hospital birth. I am considering a home birth or birthing center. I definitely want to use a doula.

"Anyone have any info on safety of using gentian violet DURING pregnancy vs. monistat or diflucan? My dr. seemed fine with it, but I want to be sure. NOT wanting to take diflucan while pregnant (or really at all!)."
"Sorry I took so long to respond. I'm not planning a home birth, even though I would love to. I'm using the Ochsner midwife group. Its pretty cool we have the same due date :)"
"Most of our family doesn't know about it. My parents are supportive, just nervous. My dad said he might have a heart attack but he was just kidding :) The rest of the family might think I'm nuts, but oh well!..."
"Dr. Dickerson IS awesome. You don't run across many dr.'s like him. Very open minded and kind. He seriously apologizes every visit because he's worried I've had to wait. I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 or 10 min. I just laugh!..."
"I completely agree. I feel safer at home and I know that most transfers are calm and not a rushed emergency. I guess, in my mind, I just need to know what situation/s would potentially end badly at home...."
"Can anyone give me any examples of or personal stories about crisis situations in homebirth. I know the basics about being able to resuscitate baby and stop hemorrhaging in mom...."
"I just saw one of your posts. We have the exact same due date! Have you made plans for a home birth? I want to do it but am feeling stuck and sort of overwhelmed. Just wondered who you are using if you are :)"
"Thanks! So difficult to leave our pediatrician that we loved in Dallas! I just have to quit stalling and try someone We used one dr. at the Bluebonnet office when my son was first born...."
"Can anyone give me any helpful tips on deciding among Dr. Elofson, Dr. Katzenmeyer, and Dr. Franz? All 3 have been personally recommended to me, and I saw that they are all on this site as vax friendly...."
