I am looking for a lay midwife that will attend a VBAC. It will be my third. I really, really need to find one. The laws will not allow a CNM to attend me at home and I am not alowed to birth in a birth center. I do not want to go to a hospital for a normal birth. We are new to this area and have not been able to find one yet.

Hi back to ya!  We are originally from Ohio. And moved here for DH to go to school. I am glad to hear from an other mother that is liked minded. I am still looking for some one. Now I have shifted to looking for a good hands off CNM that I can go to until I either find an underground midwife or a CNM to see during my pregnancy and then conveniently not make it to the hospital.  Though I would really prefer having a midwife there is a lot of emotion tied up in this pregnancy. This is our first pregnancy after two miscarriages and loosing our one month old son to a collapsed lung last Dec.  How many HBs have you had?

Someone I know had a VBAC with midwifes that came from out of state. I think they were only ones she was able to find and at the end I don't think she was too pleased with experience. I don't know if there is anyone there now who would attend VBAC.

There is LLL groups in Columbia and Lexington which have a lot of homebirthing moms and also a Holistic Moms Network group that used to meet at  Earth Fair but I think they went back to 14 Carrot store in Lexington on HWY 378, but I am not sure as I moved in August.

I think ladies in those groups will be able to stir you in right direction.

Thank you I will look into that. I have been to 14 carrot and really liked it. So an excuse to go back would be nice. : )

This will be our second child, but first homebirth! My DH and I toyed around with the idea of a midwife when we were expecting our first, but weren't ready at the time to take the leap out of the mainstream- LOL! After our experience in the hospital, I knew then any future babies would be born at home!
