I was wondering if any moms here have had a home birth that I could just chat with and get some information from. I'm planning my first birth at home and just would like some local resources/support. Thanks.
Hello,
I had a lovely homebirth of my third child back in September. I am also a labor and delivery nurse and graduate nurse-midwifery student. I would be happy to chat with you about homebirth- mine was wonderful! You can send me a message through mamasource if you have specific questions you want to talk about. Good luck!
I've had both my boys at home through Homefirst. Feel free to email any questions you have.
Hi A.! I have not had my own homebirth, but have assisted at several of them. I am a labor doula. It is really a neat thing. My husband would never go for it. I would not of either with my first 2 girls, but with my son, I was a doula and had been to my first home birth for a client and was so intrigued. My husband was not up for that at all. I am willing to talk to you about it and answer any questions you may have about it. You can PM me if you would like.

There is a monthly Meetup for homebirth (see www.meetup.com) on the north side. Currently there are 2 CNMs (Hillary Keiser and Sarah Simmons) who attend homebirths in the area, plus Homefirst. I think Sarah usually takes July/August off each year. I haven't had one myself (I did have a great natural hospital VBAC birth) but I know many women who have.
