HomeBirth Midwives

I want to have a home birth with my next child. I'm trying to get some names of some midwives in the area. I live in Gaston county. Also, can some of you talk to me about your experience with having a homebirth and back up doctors and so forth. My husband and I saw The Business of Being Born recently and now my husband doesn't have quite as many reservations about it as he used to. So, we are looking at all of our options for where to birth our 2nd child. Also, did any of you have gestational diabetes or high blood pressure and still have a home birth? I would appreciate any information that you can provide. Thanks.

Also, just to let you know, I am looking at the birth center in Fort Mill as an option as well. Thanks again.

Hi Marnita,

I have some info that might help. I would be happy to talk to you by phone about your options. My email address is midwife AT carolinamaternity dot com. Send me your phone number and I will call you back.

I am in the same boat, I guess. I am not pregnant yet, but would love to get more information on homebirth midwives in the Charlotte area as my husband and I are planning to conceive soon. I, too, saw the Business of Being Born recently (maybe the same showing as you, Marnita? At the Actor's Theatre?), and now am super on-board with the homebirth idea.

Please post any info that you can! Thank you!

"Interesting. I do find info about Arnica as a poison ivy relief alternative. I hadn't heard of that. Homeopathic Apis helps for swelling, hives also. Pat"

Poison Ivy

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving poison ivy itch?  I'm new to holistic treatments, and hubby has a small case of what he thinks is poison ivy or oak on face and hands.
