Home Birth Midwife in Irvine Area
I am looking for a midwife who will do a home birth and lives in or near Irvine. I am already familiar with the South Coast Midwifery group - so I am specifically looking for references OTHER than SCM. (Though I was very impressed with them.) I do NOT want to deliver at a hospital so if your midwife won't do a home birth, please do not recommend her to me in this thread.

My midwife who caught my first daughter and will be attending our home birth for our baby in the belly is wonderful. She lives in Newport Beach and her website is http://pacificbirthcare.com/

I have nothing but the highest praise for Susan Scott Gill of Blessed Beginnings. She is a LMW with tons of experience and a truly caring connection with the families she helps. She was the back-up midwife for my last home birth. You can check the website www.blessedbeginnings.net
Also, BJ Snell, CNM, Ph.D will do homebirths if you are truly low-risk. Otherwise, she just opened a birth center in Laguna Woods with great birth tubs.
Best of luck and blessings on your plans to welcome this newest blessing in peace!

BJ Snell of Beach Cities Midwifery and Women's Health Care delivered my first born and I plan on using her for my second. She is AWESOME and I know of other moms who have used her. I think she has 20+ years of experience and teaches midwifery at local universities. You should definitley check her out.
She just opened up a birth center:
