Midtown Kansas City MO - Suggestions for natural birth?

[simplesunshine]

I'm in midtown Kansas City, and I'm looking for recommendations for natural birth/water birth nearby. No kids on the way yet, but I'd like to find someone I'm comfortable with before it's necessary.

I'm intrigued by homebirth, but dh isn't quite on board. I'm okay with doctors or midwives depending on their views, don't like much intervention when it's not needed, and like birthing tubs...maybe waterbirth.

Also interested in policies like eating/drinking during labor, c-section rates, immediate breastfeeding, lactation assistance, etc if you know them.

I've heard a few good things about Dr. Bohon and her CNMs at A Woman's Place at St. Luke's at the plaza. However, does anyone know if they have things like birthing tubs there?

Thank you all!

This reply is a little late, but I chose to transfer my care to the Midwest Midwifery practice. They deliver at Research Medical (I think that's considered mid-town KC?).
I called and spoke to Kim Anderson and was very pleased with her answers about their practices. No routine episiotomies, a 3 or 5 % (can't remember which) c-section rate, birth plans for every mother (some hospitals balk at a pregnant woman when she brings in her birth plan) and so on.
