recommend a NH midwife to me, come on! You know you want to!

[EmilyVorpe]

I'm looking for a new midwife in NH. I carry state insurance, so someone that accepts that is ideal. I'm unsure of homebirth or birthing center....
So who have you used (and recommend)????

[pcasylum]

:Jeanne Browne at Concord Birth & Wellness Center! : Absolutely adore her - she's a fabulous, intuitive, just all-around awesome midwife. I've had 2 of my 4 kids with her - she's wonderful! She has a freestanding birth center in Concord, and also does homebirths, so you'd have both options. And I do know that she definitely takes state insurance.

Feel free to pm if you want specific details of my births or any other info!

I agree with Baby_Makes_5!! We're with Jeanne and Kate right now, and we LOVE them. The center is really cozy if you decide for that. Also, we were told about Jeanne after my friend delivered her 11 lb son, vaginally, at home with a complication of shoulder distotia (sp??) with Jeanne -- no problems. We have complete confidence in her. There is another midwife-- Cilia Bannenberg who we've heard great things about. She's in Barrington. And actually-- you probably know about this link: http://www.nhmidwives.org/find.html But there it is for a quick resource. Good luck!!

Oh Jeanne Browne is the best. I've used others, and none of them were as comfortable a fit for us as Jeanne. She's passionate about her job, laid-back, resourceful, and very capable (she handled my surprise breech homebirth like a pro). I've recommended her to 4 of my prego friends in the last year and they all love her! You can PM me if you want to hear more about her or other experiences. Good luck!

I have hard great things about Jeanne Brown as well as the Birth Cottage in Milford.

[BioMom2Boys]

Adrienne and Tracey at the Birth Center are awesome. Will do home birth or birth center (in Milford). Check them out!

Mary Lawlor caught our son, and we all loooooooove her
She does homebirths in Vermont and New Hampshire,
has a birth center right outside Keene,
and she accepts insurance!

Amy Healey out of Hillsboro. She runs First Moments Midwifery and does home births.

[jamsmama]

I second Mary Lawlor. Her birth center is gorgeous too! I had her for both of my births and she is very hands off and doesn't interfere with the process. Good luck in your quest.

another vote for Jeannie here! She's amazing!!! This is our third baby but our first attempt at a HB and she's been nothing but reassuring and empowering throughout! She's in Concord but will travel to you for a homebirth depending on where you are, she definitely does take NH State insurance and most insurance companies. Congrats on your pregnancy mama!

It depends on where in NH you are. Are you interested in seacoast midwives?

[babynatasha]

Who are the Seacoast midwives? I am using Valerie Jacques this time because Sarah Anderson moved. I felt a little confined though, as she was the only one in the area that was on the midwives association website, are there others? (We are happy with her, although I have no other options so there was really no choice)

[mbelisle2]

Valerie's BC is in Stratham, and she does homebirths all over the seacoast, as does Cilia Bannenberg in Barrington. Jeanne Browne is in Concord but she does lots of homebirths on the seacoast...all over southern NH, actually.

[Rebecca]

I used Dover Women's Health. My friends like Garrison Women's Health (both in Dover). Harbor Women's Health is popular in Portsmouth.

Another vote for Jeanne and Kate of CBWC! I had a VBAC with her in January and was SO happy with her care throughout.
