Homebirth midwife in Philadelphia--Kathy Hindle

[HippieIncognito]

I am currently signup to have my baby (guess date 1/10/12) at Bryn Mawr Birth Center but decided that I would rather have a homebirth. Today my husband and I met with Kathy Hindle of Midwifery Traditions. We really liked her! I can totally see her catching our baby. I just wanted to post here for the first time to ask other moms if they have homebirthed with Kathy and if they have any opinions or advice. We are strongly leaning towards it. :)

I'm due to have a homebirth with her any day now. This is my first birth with her. I used to see her a looong time ago when she worked for Valley Birthplace and loved her then. I've been going to her at her Midwifery Traditions practice for the last 3 years. I love her. She is very skilled, calm and kind. My best friend is a midwife and Kathy delivered two of her babies. I was present for the last birth and Kathy was AWESOME. I highly recommend her. If you google her or even just do a search on MDC you will see that she is very well-loved. She currently has an apprentice working with her - Allison - who we really like. Good luck!

I've had 3 of my 4 kids with her.  She is wonderful.

I had my two sons w/ her, both homebirths.  I can't speak highly enough of her.  It has been sad after I've delivered w/ her because I don't get to see her as often!  I can't imagine giving birth w/o her!

Yes, if you search through here, you will find lots of feedback on her.

Best wishes!

Ds was a homebirth with Kathy, too.  No complaints:)

Does anyone know if she has a website? My family and I are moving to the Lehigh Valley in the next month or two, and I am pregnant, looking to do a homebirth. How far outside of Philadelphia does she travel?

[mama24-7]

AFAIK, she does not have a website.  ANd, I would think it would depend on where in the Lehigh Valley you'll be.  She lives in Bucks County so depending on where you are, it might not be that far.  I would suggest you call her office (215 249 9646).  Her office person is very nice (Denise, I think) & will help you w/ whatever she can & will either get the info & call you back or Kathy will call you.

Best wishes,

She mentioned the other day she does births in the Poconos so sounds like she travels pretty far. Definitely call her. She's great! :)

Loved Kathy Hindle. I had both of my kids at home and she delivered my daughter in Nov. 2008. She has a very laid back non invasive approach and put me completely at ease to be in her capable hands. I wouldn't hesitate to have her for any future children and heartily recommend her.

We decided to go with Kathy for our homebirth and have been so happy with the prenatal care I've gotten. I really like her personality and approach. It's nice to hear everyone's positive experiences with her. I am 30 weeks along and really excited for the big day!

Hi!!!

I was about to post a question to the forum, since I'm looking for a midwife in the Philadelphia area and i stumbled upon this one. Does any of you know if Kathy will deliver twins?

Thanks!!
