I'm not PG but interested in a home birth when the time comes. ?If you're in the suburbs, here is a link I found for a woman in Lake County. ?Maybe she would go to the city if you needed it.
I live in Gurnee and we are planning a homebirth with Debbie Boucher. (yourbirth.com)She is the only homebirth midwife in Lake County. Pretty sad.... We looked into using Homefirst (they came recommended by a friend) but I wasn't very happy with their prenatal care. I just wanted more personal attention that a midwife could provide. I know you may have more options if you live in the city. There is also a group of midwives that work at the birth center attached to Ressurrection Hospital. (too far of a drive for us) But they may be able to rec someone in your area too. Good luck in your search. I hope to be having our baby in a few days!

I have a friend who used this practice, in the southwest burbs:?https://www.homefirst.com/faqs/examples/homebirth.html?
I know I've found others before... try googling "home birth" and your location. ?Good luck!?
