Find Midwife Jobs in Essex, ON

Midwife and/or doula. I went to my first OB appt yesterday and after the OB recommended the Covid & flu vax, I realized I can’t trust anything she says. I would like to have the most natural, non-invasive pregnancy & birth possible while also keeping it safe and having access to a hospital if needed. I think home or a birth center would be best for me, as I have severe medical trauma from past experiences. Budget is still up for discussion.

21 weeks with 4th baby. I’m 25. All births have been epidural but vaginal. I’m looking to go natural but I am high risk for hdfn due to antibody m being present.

First baby, planning a home water birth, I believe I’m about 7 weeks, budget is $5,000

Due December 15th with my first baby. Low risk pregnancy. Currently 30 weeks. Looking for a certified midwife to support a home birth. Birth plan to include delayed cord clamping, potentially water birth, avoiding induced labor and any unnecessary intervention

We would like a home water birth. Taking a holistic approach and would love to avoid hospitals to insure the best health for our child.

In home water birth Under $10000 Provides prenatal care like ultra sojnds and blood work

First birth, want an at home style birth plan. I want as little reason to be at a hospital as possible. I have no insurance so I would pay out of pocket and would need to know when my fees are due so I can properly plan that. I will be stopping work by December. I am currently 17 weeks. I would prefer to have in person meetings as much as possible and my partner would like to be involved when possible. He has more questions than I, he does not understand midwifery or doulas, I am very comfortable with the idea and truly do not want to give birth at a hospital. My mom is a nurse and there is a chance she will want to be involved, which is okay. I see a Massage Therapist regularly who is a doula herself and gives me advice now and then.

I'm planning my second birth and likely final birth. I've been drawn to home birth but was too fearful the first time around. If I'll never get to do this again, I want the opportunity to experience a peace filled birth. The birth of my son was A LOT - I wanted zero interventions and I ended up with an epidural and pitocin. The midwife who actually delivered baby didn't have me change position once (which previous providers on staff did - which seemed helpful). The cord was around babys neck so every time he went in and out of the birth canal, he lost circulation. After he came out, they cut his cord immediately and took him away - again, not what I wanted for either of us. I 'spiked a fever' during labor (I didn't...), so they made me and baby stay in the hospital for 5 days of antibiotics and observation - luckily, both of our IV's got accidentally ripped out by the provider after the first dose and we refused the remaining doses - we just stayed for observation. It was miserable. I was up for almost 5 days straight because I couldn't sleep with my baby next to me and I didn't produce milk because I was so stressed. I want a positive birth experience. It's going to take some convincing to get my partner on board, but I don't want to regret this forever. I'd like to give birth at home. I'm 22wks along, so need to make a decision now. I'm open to discussing budget. I have a provider at Henry Ford Hospital - so I've had labs and ultrasounds done and can continue. Baby is healthy and thriving - so am I. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

Only a few weeks along with my first! Definitely wanting to go the traditional/home birth route, and also looking for prenatal care and guidance.

Home or birthing center Budget- affordable preferably through insurance but can be flexible Birth plan: welcoming 4th child have had natural unmediated births for last 2 children

I am looking for more of a personable experience than a typical obgyn. I have anxiety and think having a midwife that is more available for questions or concerns of mine would better suite me. I plan to give birth in a hospital, I am hoping for a midwife that takes blue cross insurance

I plan to give birth at home. My estimated budget is relying on Medicaid or blue cross insurance. My birth plan is at home in a pool.

I would like to have prenatal care and a home birth. This is my fifth pregnancy, which are usually low risk, and the labors happen quickly. Im hoping to spend under $4000
