Hi Tiff,
Mary Blythe was my Doula,she emailed me about the group. I just gave birth Friday. I want to come to the group, so count me in for the next meeting. I won't be on the computer much now, for obvious reasons, but will check in here and there.
On a side note, Dr. Ebesugawa is a fine Dr. Very good at what he does. My problem with him, was the always long waits, minimum 1 1/2 hours to get in, sometimes 2 or more. I met a woman that worked there, and she said the reason for this is that he schedules patients every 5 minutes. Obviusly that's not very feasible. Also, I blame this for my first C section. When I was in labor pushing, he was busy delivering another baby at the same time, so all I had was a distressed nurse, the baby's heart rate would dip momentarilly upon contractions, which is normal, but since Dr. couldn't come and tend to me and observe what was happening, they just put me off to C section. We were so close my husband could see the head. Very frustrating. This is a problem with a Dr. that takes on SOO many patients. But if this isn't an issue for you, you will get fine care. I just gave birth at the Waimea Hospital, and I have to say it flet more like day spa than a hospital. I had great nurses, foot rubs, a 10 foot sliding glass door that looked out onto beautiful trees and flowers. It is a far drive for us folks, but from my perspective on doing both something worth checking out. Aloha, Angela
