Hi there,

I saw your response to my post the other day.  I am thinking that I will for sure have a doula if I do not go the midwife route.  However, the only local hospital that I have heard uses midwives is Evanston. Do you know if there are any hospitals anywhere up here that have midwives or allow midwives?

I am not comfortable with a home birth for my first....but maybe down the road.

Thanks!!

Whitney

  • I think a lot of the hospitals work with midwives.  Usually the CNM is out of a regular office and the doctor is "on call" for the birth.  What hospital do you want to use?  I'll email my MIL and get some recs.
  • Thank You!  My email is wrafiner @ yahoo.com......

    As far as hospitals, I am open. I live in Grayslake so.....Condell, Northwest Community (in Arlington Heights), Highland Park, Evanston,......really any.

    Thanks again.
