Prescott Area Midwives

[Arielsmama]

I am moving to Prescott, from Texas, at the beginning of November. I am pregnant and will be 20 weeks along when we move. I would like to be able to find a midwife fairly quickly when we arrive. I am interested in having a home water birth. My 3 year old was born at home and it was wonderful, but I did have a significant hemorrhage. I am hoping to find a great midwife, and prefer one with experience due to my history of hemorrhage and some other medical issues. While searching on-line, I noticed a midwife named Paula Matthew who has lots of experience but both e-mail addresses that I tried for her were not valid. Can anyone give me any opinions on the local midwives and possibly correct contact info if there is one that you recommend? I appreciate any help!

(We will also be searching for friends when we arrive! I have a sweet 3 year old girl and our baby is due in March. I hope to meet any of you in the Prescott area.)

Hi! Paula is a wonderful midwife. I have her office # ~ 928-776-8033. From what I know, she is the best midwife in the area. We'll have to meet up when you are settled in here. Welcome in advance!

Thank you mamascarlett! I am starting to hear lots of good things about Paula Matthew - I will try to call her today. I will PM you after we get a little settled - it would be great to meet you!

I had both my girls at home in the water with Paula attending. She's wonderful--very competent and experienced, and a very calming presence.
