Hi all, just wondering if you could give me some advice on Midwives in the Omaha area. My husband and I plan on having another child in the future and I would like to go with a midwife this time. So, if you have been to one and would recommend her, please let me know.
Thanks!
I used to work with and Love the midwives at the Indian Hills Women's Center on 90th and Dodge. You would need to deliver at Methodist which is also the only certified Baby Friendly hospital in NE.
I'm very happy you've chosen to use a midwife. I went with one for my first until she was found to be in the breach position and then had to go to an OB-had a c-section and now can't use a midwife. Jenda Stauffer was recommended to me and I have a friend who absolutely loves her and will not go with anyone else. She's through the Methodist system and they have built or are building a new facility close to Lakeside Hospital. I know she's going to be one of the midwives out there.
A.,
Jenda Stauffer is a wonderful midwife. She is through the methodist system. I had her when I had my daughter and she was with us in the hospital from almost the first contraction. I did end up having a c-section but that was because my daughter was wraped in the cord.
The midwives at The Nebraska Medical Center (formerly UNMC) are terrific. I hear that the midwives at Methodist are great, too, but they don't take anyone over 40 so I can't use them this time. You might also consider consulting a doula - a birthing assistant. There are many fine doulas in the area, but I know one who is exceptional. If you would like her name and phone number, let me know.
