C.O.
Johns Hopkins is a GREAT facility.
You need to check with your insurance to see what and who they cover....you might be "forced" to go to MedStar....I don't know.
Check with our OB/GYN - do they have mid-wives on their staff? If so - then your insurance most likely covers them.
Most doctors respect the right to choose between natural and drugs...so you need to have an open and frank conversation with your OB/GYN to find out what his/her parameters are for no drugs, no induction, no c-section...and then agree upon it.
I only have experience with Johns Hopkins Villmer Eye Institute not their Obstetrics facility.
