Find Midwife Jobs in Chico, CA

Due to past traumas and watching numerous family members/ children in my family pass away from failed care in Enloe and Oroville hospitals in butte county. I want a home water birth.

I’m Not actually pregnant yet, but I’ve just moved to colusa and I am considering starting to try for my third baby. I am interested in having a home birth for my third. I had planned an home birth for my first but that got derailed due to the water supply to my home becoming contaminated (I lived in Alaska at the time) I did not try to plan a home birth for my second as I had a gut feeling I shouldnt. I ended up with Gestational Hypertension at 38 weeks a got induced, but preeclampsia was ruled out. Then we had tongue tie issues with my second baby that negatively impacted breastfeeding. I breastfed my first for 2 years and wanted to do the same for my second but that didn’t happen. I saw a lactation consultant and got the tongue tie revised but by the time we caught it my supply had already dropped significantly and it unfortunately never recovered. So this time I plan to have the tongue tie revision scheduled before the baby is born (the surgeon assessed my first child too. He also has ties but they weren’t quite as severe and he learned to compensate) and a lactation consultant lined up ahead of time. I really want to create an oversupply this time and be able to keep expressed milk in the freezer along with exclusively breastfeeding baby.
