And Lori Orme, of Marshall Midwifery, is actually very close - in Warrenton. Tammi

We'll be using Wilkes and Warner. Thanks.

I found the Virginia liscensing regulations. It does state that disposable diapers are preferred, but that cloth can be used if childs skin reacts adversely to them. It does not mention needing a drs note, however individual centers may require one. It goes on to say that if cloth is used, a separate leakproof covered container must be used. Here is the link to the PDF file . It is on the pages 64-65 of the file.

i have dr gregory at lakeview pediatrics. i really, really like the practice although I am considering switching to another practice with the birth of my new baby, just because of the distance (I am in Va Bch and he is in suffolk 45 minutes by car) and me not having a car right now. My midwife recommended a doctor who is homebirth-friendly so I will be checking that practice out soon.

They really focus on you and go the extra mile. Thank you so much for this info! I've been emailing Lori and am...

Thank you, edwardsmom! I've decided to plan a surprise closer to home this year, as I'm not sure my kids (or I) are ready to be states about yet. But, I plan to surprise him with that trip at some point in the future, so I'll keep this info for then. Thank you again!

Hello mommas! There's a chance that my health care at work will be changing and I'd like some input from local ladies as I think about TTC soon. If you have had a home birth recently AND have Blue Cross Blue Shield... did BCBS cover your homebirth? In-network or out-of-network? And lastly, if you want to share, who was your midwife? Any problems getting insurance to help cover costs? If you don't want to post, feel free to PM...

Hi all, We just moved to Louisville, KY from Seattle. We're looking for a doctor for my 13 month and 3 year old boys, my husband and myself. Family practice preferred. We believe in natural childbirth, breastfeeding and cloth diapering but also believe in vaccination. Got anyone you can recommend? We're near St. Matthews, so someone out thataway (or Crescent Hill or Highlands) would be best. Thanks much, Mylocat (doctor and mom of 2)
