Hi!
I had my first baby a few months ago at Avista Hospital in Louisville, Colorado. We worked with a lovely midwife, Claudia Berg at Avista Women's Care.
I initially had a lot of trouble finding a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM). We wanted to be in a hospital for this birth but with a midwife. Unfortunately, this isn't so easy to do. While home birth midwives abound in Boulder, there aren't any who can deliver babies in the hospital here.
I'm really happy we found Claudia and I was able to have such a "natural" hospital birth. She did provide me with a list of nearby CNMs and I thought I'd share them all in one place:
Avista Women's Care in Louisville. CNMs Amber Johnson, Virginia Naegle and Claudia Berg.
The Birth Center of Boulder. CNMs Angela Stevens and Shaunti Meyer. www.birthcenterofboulder.com
Westside Women's Care in Arvada and Wheat Ridge. CNMs Julie Javernick, Norine Taylor, Jennifer Holcomb, Patty McHardy, Brenda Bridges, Pam Weitzel, and Julie Stretz.
Denver Health. "Approximately 26 CNMs. Amazing midwives with a true midwifery approach despite the large inner-city hospital setting."
Baby+Company of Wheat Ridge. CNMs Susan Mitchell and Laura Thielke www.babyandcompany.com
