Midwives in Genoa?

[AmyWorsham]

Anyone know of any?

Hello,
I have sent several emails out... but hoping for some response here.

Does anyone have any contacts for an English-speaking midwife or Doula in Genova?

I have interests in a home birth, however will consider a birthing center or hospital if a natural birth will be respected. We just relocated to this area from the United States a little over two weeks ago and I am due in 4 weeks. We know very few people here and I have concerns for what to do with our 4 year old daughter when the time comes.

Also, since we are American citizens, we will also be paying all of our medical costs out of pocket. Does anyone have a price range of cost for delivery? No one I have spoken with seems to have any clue.

Any suggestions, thoughts, recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Amy

Could you hire a translator? If you haven't checked it out already from the Midwifery Today website link on the other post, here is a link to a page from Nascere in Casa (The National Association of Homebirth). Click on your region and it will give you some providers to call. I can't offer anything else as everything I had found is merely from doing online research.

I hope everything works out for you.

Thank you for the link to the Website. I had been navigating around it earlier and had not found the page that you linked me to. There is one name that pops up for my area I will try. Any further useful information is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi there,

My husband's grandmother lives in Recco which is about 20 minutes in the train from Genova. Its a long story but I know for a fact that there is a homebirth midwife located there. I forget her name but she should be on that site previously mentioned. If not let me know and I will try to find her. Good luck and let me know if you need help. I live in France now but I lived in Italy before and like I said we have family near you!
