hi everyone! I`m on 6 week of pregnancy and looking for a midwife in my area. I haven`t decided what I want -hb or in hospital with midwife. It`s my 3rd pregnancy. I had precipitated labor with my first and second pregnancy and hope that this time will be the same. That`s why I`m looking a...

I am 22 weeks pregnant and currently under care of an MD. I would greatly prefer to have a homebirth, and am learning that my out of pocket expense at a hospital, after insurance, will still be nearly $6000, so I am hesitant to pay $5000 for a homebirth midwife and then possibly have to go to...

Hey there, I am looking for some midwife recommendations in or near Atlanta. I live NW of Atlanta and would prefer something a little closer to Kennesaw/Marietta, but I am very leery of OB/GYN affiliates because I do not want the pressure from an OB (I read on their site they rotate the...
