Finding a midwife in Jalisco?

[evak]

Hi all! So I'm living in a small beach town in southern Jalisco, and my husband and I are hoping to start trying for a little one soon. We're up in the air as to whether it would be better here or in the US, there are pros and cons to each really. What I am concerned about is that this area is so small there are no midwives. I have asked around, one person recommended a lady from the DF. But that is so far.... Would anyone happen to have any resources as to how I might find one in the Jalisco area? Thanks!

The association Parto Libre is a good source - an association that promotes humanized birth (www.partolibre.org).  I had a look at their website and found two names for Jalisco. Here are their details:

Jalisco

• Norma Emilia Escalante Betancourt
  Medico Cirujano. Partera. Educadora Perinatal. Doula. Terapeuta Floral. Terapias Alternativas. Sexóloga. Desarrollo Humano, terapia de danza y movimiento.
• For her details go to: http://www.partolibremexico.org/popups/directorio.php?Id=17
• José Luis Grefnes
  Gineco-Obstetra, Homeópata, Educador Perinatal
• For his details go to: http://www.partolibremexico.org/popups/directorio.php?Id=18

Hope they turn out to be good leads for you!!
