I'm an American expat living in Amman, Jordan.  I have two boys, ages 1 and 3, and we're hoping to add to our family again in 2012, although I'm not pregnant now.  I'm looking to make contact with others living in the area, and am especially interested in finding out about natural birth options in Amman!

I had no success in finding out about midwives or birthing centers, but I did find an OB that has a reputation for being pretty supportive of natural birth options. My friend who's a doula said he allowed a German couple here to have a water birth in Farah Hospital, so he must be fairly open-minded! His name is Dr. Ghazi Ibrahim, and his office is in Istiklal Hospital north of 5th circle (but he delivers at Farah). The main number at Istiklal is 565-2600.

Thanks for the info. I was really looking for a female OB or midwife, I am a Muslim. Do you know anything about Jordanian policy on homebirths? Your Doula friend does she practice in Amman?
