NBR: Need Midwife Recs for Chicago

Ok I know this isn't terribly related to this board but I am hoping there are some Chicago Bumpies who can help me.  I am trying to find a new OB practice to start going to that has Nurse Midwives in their group in Chicago.  I live on the North side of Chicago and ideally am looking for a group that has privilages either at Northwestern or Swedish Covenant.  I am posting this on the Chicago board as well but thought I would check with one of the groups I spend a lot of time with.  Thanks!

    Hi, not sure if you're willing to go more west than north but Oak Park has a midwife practice.

    https://www.westsubmidwives.com/

     Maybe they can help you and refer you to a practice closer to you.

    I don't have any personal experience but my "crunchy" friend that lives in the city delivered in Oak Park, I'm guessing the practice/birthing center referenced by the prior poster.

    Also, I never used them for OB, but I think that Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation's department of obstetrics and gynecology has midwives on staff (I saw one once when I went for a routine gyn exam WAY before I was interested in anything prenatal).

    Are you looking to go med-free?

    If your aim is med-free, ditto PP re: West Suburban or Oak Park midwifery groups that deliver at the West Sub Alternative Birth Center. 

    If you're looking for a MW to deliver you at Northshore/Evanston, I'd suggest Kathy Puls https://www.kathypuls.com/practice.php.

    I recently had a terrible experience w/ North Shore Associates' OB/Gyn/MW practice and won't be going back-- I'll be more than happy to elaborate if you want.
