Midwives at Bryn Mawr Hospital

Hello All -
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a midwife to hire privately (not a practice) to attend a birth at Bryn Mawr Hospital. I had my first with The Birth Center but transferred for a C-section. The Birth Center doesn't do VBAC's and I already have an OBGYN whom we love, but I wanted to have a midwife along for the ride and wasn't sure if that was possible. My health insurance does not cover a doula so it would have to be a midwife. Any info would be great,
Thanks in advance

Re: Midwives at Bryn Mawr Hospital
I don't believe that BMH allows that. Unless you don't tell them that your birth partner is a midwife? She would not be able to actually deliver you at BMH. Also, if you are serious about a VBAC, I do not recommend BMH. I was a Birth Center transfer to BMH and wanted a VBAC. I interviewed a GREAT OB at BMH and after a wonderful talk, he told me that if I was really serious about a VBAC, that I might want to consider another hospital because most of the doctors on call would make it difficult for me there.
I delivered at a different local hospital with a midwife and had a great VBAC. Let me know if you want that contact info! Good luck to you either way!
