Finding a midwife who is willing to travel  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Im in a bit of a pickle- Im unexpectedly pregnant with my 3rd. Ive had two uncomplicated unmedicated births in a hospital. I live in a small city 100 miles from Las Vegas, that is the closest large city to me. How do I go about finding a midwife who is willing to travel that far for the birth? I have no problems travelling to her for all the appointments of course, my only concern is finding someone willing to travel to me for the actual birth.
If this question has been posed before or in the wrong forum, Im sorry about that! Please move if needed.
Thank you in advance!

www.midwifewithoutborders.com -- she travels!

I am 2-3h from any hb mw's and I found a few willing to travel out here.

Oh, and Charmie981 travels!

I would contact the midwives nearest to you (probably in Vegas) and ask them. I know it isn't uncommon in some parts of the country that are under-served by midwives for them to attend births 2-3 hours away.

Definitely call them and ask!

It really isn't uncommon for midwives to travel like that. I just went to a birth (as an apprentice) the other day that was quite far from my home. Just start calling around and speaking to the midwives, I am sure you will be able to find someone who can help you!
