Does anyone have any experience with any midwives that perform home birth in the Boston area? I live in the Maynard/Stow/Acton area and am looking for an alternative to a standard hospital birth. Though Emerson seems very nice I don't like the idea of spending 24+ hours in a hospital room to deliver.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Re: Midwife/Home Birth in Boston Suburbs
My midwife is Sue Smith in Uxbridge, but I'm not sure how far she travels. Dina Fraize was her assistant at my birth and now has her own practice (from Northboro). I have also heard wonderful things about Joyce Kimball and Kelly Faulkner. There is a full listing of Massachusetts homebirth midwives at www.massmidwives.org
Also, you can ask around on the Massachusetts mothering.com board
