I am pregnant (still frist trimester), and having touble finding a midwife! Because we have to pay out of pocket and I would feel more comfortable I want to have a homebirth. I am about 1 hour east of Pitsburgh. Does anyone now of someone?
try Leona Cunningham...a cnm, but I'm fairly certain that she does homebirth. I'm from the area originally, but do not live there now. I know of others who have worked with her. I don't know a number or anything, but she is probably listed at the ACNM website. I think she is in the Indiana/Cambria County area. Hope this helps a little...I know it's tough to find resources over there! Good luck!
Ok finding a few more local mama's I did come arross some names and numbers of local midwifes doing home births.
Ellen Gaefke 724-229-7218
Ellen Benek 724-376-2473
Hope that helps someone else in the future! Ellen B. is more to the north ansd Ellen G is off Rt 70 and closer to which is good because i clicked better with her.
