I am 5 weeks pregnant and looking for a midwife in the Provo area. I don't want to go natural, I just want a better experience than I had with my first child and heard midwifery is the way to go.

What can I do next?

DO NOT go to New Beginnings in Orem. I used the Mt. Timp group for my first four babies, then switched to to the Orem group for baby #5 because I thought that they would be more personalized since they were a smaller practice. They were horrible! Not a true midwife experience at all. I'm using a homebirth midwife from Better Birth for this baby (#6!), and so far I am LOVING the experience, but it sounds like that's not what you're looking for. So if I were you, I would go to the Mt. Timp midwives.
****Edited because I meant to NOT recommend New Beginnings, but Better Birth is wonderful.

If you are planning on using medication, that will mean you will need to be at a hospital. Only Nurse midwives are at hospitals not regular midwives. If this is the route you want to go(and I think if you are having a hospital birth, a CNM is going to give you the best experience) I would highly reccommend the Timpanogos Nurse Midwife group. They are located in American Fork and you would rotate between @5 different CNMs but as a doula, I have worked with a few of them at births and I thought they were great. They also have back-up Dr.s in their practice as well for emergencies or whatever. Their # is ###-###-####. I do not reccommend the Orem CNMs as I have heard more bad stories. Give them a call and enjoy your pregnancy!

Catherine O'Bryant, she is in Payson. My sister in-law had her with her last 3 children and she loved her. My sister in-law delivered her last 3 at home with Cathy. She really did love her a lot. Her number is ###-###-####. I went to Mount Timp Women's Center and saw Dr. WIlliam Parker whom I love. But in his office he shares it with about 7 midwives and several of my friends go to them and love them. Their number is ###-###-####. I'm not sure if you are looking for a home birh or hospital. Dr. Parker's office provides midwives to deliver in hospital and Cathy O'Bryant delivers at home and her website is homebirthinfo.com. Good luck!!!
