Midwives in Southern Ohio/ Mount Carmel West

[MamaGraves]

Hello all, 

This is my fist time posting here.

I was wondering if anyone could give my any info on finding a midwife in my area, I live in Chillicothe it's about an hour south of Columbus. I'm very interested in home birth but can seem to find a midwife. 

I doctor is Dr Villareal with Premier Woman's Health in Chillicothe, they deliver at Mount Carmel West in Columbus, so if I have to have a hospital birth I will be going there. I love my Dr, but I want a natural birthing experience with a few interventions as possible, a water birth would be ideal, but form what i'm getting it want happen in a hospital. Has anyone delivered at Mount Carmel West? What was your experience like? What about the after care, Will I get to be with the baby and nurse right away?

Any info would be great! Thanks!
