Midwife-led care and obstetrician-led care for low-risk pregnancies: A cost comparison
Proven
ability to influence choice of hospital - key driver of outcomes & valueMy first pregnancy ended in a traumatic labor experience and emergency c-section that was rushed and likely unnecessary. For my 2nd pregnancy I really wanted a VBAC. I wanted to be supported and heard throughout my pregnancy. I wanted there to be focus on my preferences as well as mine and my baby's safety.
I wanted a different experience than I had with my son, with an avoidable cesarean section and difficult recovery. Oula specializes in VBACs while also offering a very diverse team of midwives. I wanted to be surrounded by women who understand the complications faced and mistreatment of black women.
Traditional OB/GYN-only care during my first pregnancy was fine but I often felt rushed and not fully informed. This time I wanted something different. With Oula I have found the perfect blend of midwife & OB/GYN care: never rushed, never judged, and I truly feel the whole staff cares about me and the baby.
I wanted a holistic pregnancy experience where I felt heard and seen as a woman of color. That's exactly what I got from Oula! The beautiful space in Brooklyn always got me excited to go to all my appointments. The entire team is so attentive and thoughtful. 10/10 rating, and I plan to come back for my next pregnancy.
