Midwives/Doulas/Birthing Centers
Good evening ladies - I'm hoping someone can help me out a little here.
I am currently pregnant, and while I have an OB, I have yet to see him - my first appointment is scheduled for soon. In the meantime, I am interested in getting more information on local midwives and birthing centers. In a perfect situation, I would prefer not to give birth in a hospital, but I understand that there's always a chance of complications. Anyway, I'm having a hard time coming up with anything locally - especially on the southshore and eastbank.
It upsets me that I'm having a hard time locating what I would like, while other cities seem to have an abundance of other options available to pregnant women and their families. Any recommendations?
Re: Midwives/Doulas/Birthing Centers
If I remember correctly, when I went to some classes at West Jeff, they knew of midwives, doulas, and/or birthing centers.
Call West Jeff Hospital for the nurse who does the pregnancy classes....I completely forgot her name. I think her last name is Helmstetter.

Hi Steph - thanks for your input on the Knot:-) Just wanted to say "Congratulations!" How exciting!
Lara is finally pregnant after a couple rounds of IVF - due in July. She's been told she may need a section - I did the all natural thing! So can't help with your question - she just has to decide between Lakeside and EJ - will probably go with Lakeside... Best wishes!

Congrats!?I had a natural birth (no meds) and used a doula...Kate Paxton...not sure if she's still around NOLA. Also, check into the Bradley Method - Google it and it will give you the site and you can find local resources. The lady whose class I attended is no longer teaching. Good luck!!
