I was very happy with my experience at Froedtert. I felt like my OB really listened to me and treated me as an equal when discussing the option of a VBAC. I never felt like he over emphasized the risks, like some OBs do. The nurses on the L&D unit were great too. I never felt pushed to do anything I didn’t want to (e.g. stay in bed, get an epi). They were very encouraging of me using the birthing ball and changing positions during labor. The nurses in the post partum unit were great too and it was great having lactation consultants on staff to help with breast feeding. Oh and the food is good too :)
Good experience
