Parentsplace@ivillage.com and other sites where most births are in hospital have been omitted because they are the most frequently visited. I wanted to post places that most people might not go to first, in an effort to enlarge the readers' knowledge. I am still adding more sites, so stop by often! Thanks!
Here is a link for a group of CNM's who work with Virginia Women's Hospital. However, be it understood, I do not know how invasive these particular ones are, since,in order to keep some hospital privileges and avoid the appearance of lack of protocol, some midwives have been resorting to induction, amniotomy, pit drip and other Hospital based interventions, and these are known to be direct causes of complications that lead to cesarean section. I have not been able to ascertain the cesarean rates at various hospitals in the
commonwealth. This will be an upcoming project.
Outside Continental US
-- This is mainly for those countries who may not have access to midwives. Most of the world still recognises them, and supports them,Thank God.
