Hi,

I'm going to have my baby in Boise but will only arrive in the area at 36 weeks gestation because of our moving situation. I plan to have an unmedicated hospital birth with a doula. If there is anyone from Boise on this list who can recommend natural childbirth (NCB) friendly providers that would be great! I'm looking for an OB, a doula, and a hospital.
If you've had a good experience with an OB or hospital regardless of whether you were specifically looking for an NCB, those recommendations are welcome too! Thanks!

What can I do next?

I used Margie Widener at St. Als ###-###-####). She is a wonderful mid-wife. I had a friend who used her too and her parents are doctors and they all loved Margie. Plus the hospital is really nice, all the nurses were so sweet and helpful. They have so many amazing resources and consultants and they really focus on natural birth, breastfeeding, etc. I'm a vegetarian and they were all really supportive of that. You even get a romantic dinner for two the night after you give birth with a flower and everything. Good Luck!

I am a doula in Boise, and I am a huge proponent of natural childbirth! I highly recommend Dr. Bryan Hodges if you want a natural birth at a hospital. If you want to message me privately, I can chat with you about all of these things. Best of luck with your move!

Coleen Goodwin at The Baby Place ###-###-#### / 270 N. Linder). She is a midwife and is absolutely wonderful!! It's so nice going to a home like atmosphere and NO hospital with all their regulations. Plus you get to go home when you want! I absolutely loved it!

Shalini,

If you message me privately, I can provide you with my OB's name (LOVE HIM, and his nurse!!), the hospital that he delivers at (had my first there, and will be having my second there), and the name of a doula (a friend of mine) that also teaches HypnoBabies classes, so is very open to the natural childbirth. She and I had the same doula (retired now) for my first, her second, and it was because of that experience that she became a doula too.

Good luck on your move to Boise...it will be quite a change from SD for you.
