Comments on: Where You Birth DOES Matter http://prenatalyogacenter.com/blog/where-you-birth-does-matter/ A New York City mom sharing her knowledge as a childbirth educator, labor support doula, and her own journey through motherhood Thu, 17 May 2012 04:55:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Deb http://prenatalyogacenter.com/blog/where-you-birth-does-matter/#comment-4605 Deb Thu, 17 May 2012 00:20:48 +0000 http://prenatalyogacenter.com/blog/?p=1036#comment-4605 Hi Katerina Thank you for reaching out and asking your questions. I will do my best to answer them. :) So it appears that the link to my hospital statics is down. But one very reliable source for this information is Choices In Childbirth. (http://www.choicesinchildbirth.org/) They have the 2011 hospital c-section ratings. As for doctors that delivers twin, one of my students is having twin girls and is delivering at Cornell with Dr. Garrick Leonard. To my knowledge, he does take insurance. Dr. Gae Rodke also delivers twins, but she does not take insurance. However with Dr Rodke, you can submit your paperwork to your insurance, and her office will assist you with the claim. You may also want to check to see if Dr. Jacques Moritz or Dr. Harry Lee will take a twin mom in hopes of a vaginal birth. I hope this has been helpful. Please feel free to reach out and ask any further questions. All the best, Deb Hi Katerina

I'm a 43 (soon to be 44) yr. old woman pregnant at 9 weeks with twins. I would very much like to do a natural delivery as my hope for a very long time had been to have it at a birthing center (Maimonides) and this is not possible anymore since I am high risk. Can you specifically tell me how to rate the hospitals? How did you find the percentages and how do I narrow that search for high risk natural twin delivery? I've searched but I can't seem to find specific percentages to compare. I've been looking at Beth Israel Hospital, NYU and Mt. Sainai as well but their sites don't give this information. I've also been trying to find a new OB for my delivery as my current one can't deliver them. I've been researching for quite a while but it's difficult to find specific information for high risk natural twin delivery. Can you help me? I'd really wanted to go to Jacqueline Worth at Village Obstetrics but she doesn't accept insurance thus is out of network and too expensive. Thank you.
