obgyn/midwife/doula

I have had my two boys with West Des Moines OBGYN...I am wanting to switch it up for the next... Does Mercy now do midwives?  I would love if Ankeny was an option.. I would love to go through  midwife this round as well.  Do midwives to paps as well?  Thanks!

  • HOMEBIRTH! :-)

    I used the Iowa Health Midwives for my birth with Neena. And, I get all of my annual exams done through them, as well.

  • I highly recommend giving Steinman Family Health a call.  Lori Steinman was my midwife and she delivered at Mercy.  I don't know if she is still doing births at Mercy or not.  She is amazing.  I love her.  243-2888.  Lori is who i still see for anything- paps, birth control, etc.  We also took Oliver to see her until he had issues and I moved him to an actual pedi.  She is a lot of my friends baby doctor as well though.  :)
  • my midwife is opening a birth center, and does homebirths as well. she also does well-woman care. email me, lady!
