Lydi Owen will be my midwife- phew- I am so glad that is over! She is really just what I wanted. I knew as soon as I opened the door for her visit that she was the one. I felt, "Ah, my midwife is here!". Little Baby Jade "danced" when we first sat down to talk- I guess the baby was telling me to choose her, too! She's a mom to 6 grown children and is so full of knowledge and experience is incredible. Here's her site... http://www.powerbirth.com/
She and I talked for 3 hours and the time flew by! She has some midwives coming from Denmark to learn her powerbirth technique. She's asked them to bring her a wooden fetoscope. (her dog ate hers!) She was born in Denmark but has made Las Vegas her home most of her life. Lydi said that this wooden fetoscope works so well that it can actually pick up the vibration as well as the sound of the heart.
We think alot alike. It's great to know that I won't feel like my homebirth is a medical event. I feel quite honored, actually. She told me she isn't taking new clients anymore. She only catches babies from mom's she's had as clients in the past. But she felt a connection with me and felt like I'd be just what she needed and so she found it easy to set our appointment. I'm so glad that Rosie recommended her.
