  What part of the state are you in?  Depending on where you are your options include hospital midwives (certified nurse midwives), hospital affiliated birth center midwives (also cnms), non-hospital affiliated birth center midwives (cnms and cpms, these are in southern NH) and homebirth midwives (certified professional midwives).

   

  For hospital CNMs I recommend the Mount Auburn Midwives in Cambridge, Women's Health Associates midwives at Newton-Wellesley and the North Shore Birth Center midwives w/ Beverly Hospital.

   If you're interested in homebirth check out the Massachusetts Midwives Alliance members to find someone close to you https://www.massmidwives.org/?page_id=9

  Thanks so much!  I'm in Boston so any of those would probably work.  I'll check them out!

  My doctors office has both certified mid wives and OB's working at it.  So you get to meet with both throughour your pregnancy, then decide who you want to have at the delivery.  Of course, if you choose a MW and things change during L&D and you have to have a C-section, the OB would be available.

  I cannot recommend the Midwives of Mount Auburn highly enough!  I get such wonderful care from them, and they were the best thing about my hospital experience for my son's birth.  A wonderful, supportive, highly skilled group of women.

  Loved all of the CNMs through Harvard Vanguard.  I went to the west roxbury practice but at the hospital someone from the brookline office delivered our baby.  It was a very positive experience

  I'm due this June and its my first baby. I'm going with the midwives at MGH because they are close by. Also it was a compromise with my husband who preferred and OB.  The OBs and midwives are in the same practice so should anything go awry we will already be in the right place.
