Hi! My name is C., and i just found out in the last week that i am pregnant! I have always said if i was going to have a child i would want to have a home/water birth. so i'm looking for someone who is really kind, and relaxed, likes to joke around and not take life too seriously. if you have anyone in mind please let me know. thanx a bunch!
Hi We loved Debra Simone and Julie Tilsner with Awakenings Birth Services-we had our second with them and are onto our 3rd- I don't have the number handy but look online Debra lives in Oakland and spends lots of personal time with you-throughout your pregnancy and after-Liza
Hi,
I have a 21 month old daughter who I had at home. My midwife was Beah Haber and she is amazing. You can check her out at http://www.berkeleymidwife.com/ She is a CNM with 28 years of experience. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Plus she has an office in a pilates studio right near the lake. If you want more details, please feel free to contact me!
For my pregnancy & birth I had the midwives at Awakenings Birth Services. I planned a homebirth with birthing tub, but gave birth at St. Luke's due to pre-eclampsia and they were so supportive through the whole process. I also have attended two homebirths of a friend with them. www.awakeningsbirthservices.com
I am currently working with Judy Luce, and plan to do a home / water birth. (Due date was yesterday, so just waiting...) Here is her website: http://www.judylucehomebirth.com/index.html
Good luck and congrads!

I highly recommend you call Amrit Khalsa, who is a fantastic midwife. Not sure if this is a current number for her or not, but I found it online ###-###-####. She's amazing. I think you will find she has the personality you're looking for! Congrats and best of luck!
Hi there. I highly recommend the women of Awakenings Birth Services. Juli, Deborah, and Sharon are the most amazing home birth midwives I have known in the bay area. They are unbelievably knowledgeable, compassionate, and open to what you need and want for your birth. Their website is:

Hi
I am T. M clean a student midwife and I would reccommend checking out the Berekely Parents Network it is a great online resource for all things pregnancy. Just google BPN. Or you can google my name and it will take you there.
There is one midwife that is very close to you
Tenaya Jackman. She is a friend of mine and mentor of mine. She is terrific so check her out as well.
Also check out Selena Green, she is at http://sacredbirthplace.com/
Selena has a birth center as well as a homebirth practice I really like her as well.

I recommend Jade Lotus Midwifery, I had a really wonderful experience with Lis. Also Mason Cornelius is fabulous, her apprentice and I are very good friends. I have had two wonderful homebirths and can't recommend it enough! You may also call Susan Claypool, I'm not sure if she's working right now but she is the most experienced midwife in Northern California and she's in Oakland! ###-###-####.
Beah Haber! www.berkeleymidwife.com
I had my first birth at 40 at home with her and it was wonderful.
