We are thinking about relocating to palo alto, ca and i'm just wondering if anyone is from there or knows about homebirth midwives there.
thanks!

Veronica Wagner (CNM) is fantastic! She has delivered several of my friends' babies as well as my youngest sister (who is 17...she's been in the biz for a long time). I would have used her w/ DD#1 if she travelled to SF, but she only does the South Bay. I believe she'll go to Palo Alto though, and if she doesn't, I bet she can recommend someone equally fantastic for you.

Good luck!

I didn't have a homebirth, but know a number of people in and around Palo Alto who did. Below are two midwives that I know/know of

I had a homebirth with Veronica Wagner and she is wonderful!
There are plenty of homebirth midwives over here. Check Rosanna Davis (she is in PA), Faith Gibson, Ronnie Falco and Sunshine Tomlin.

Also, lots of great info here: http://www.gentlebirth.org/local/resources.html
