Which Midwife would you recommend?
Dh and I are starting TTC in September  I have an appt with Diane Lucks next week, and I keep hearing excellent reviews of the Gaia midwives. Which would you recommend? Why? Are there any other groups on LI that you've worked with? Thanks!!

Don't have any midwife experience, but wanted to throw some baby dust your way!

Re: Which Midwife would you recommend?
I started out seeing Susan Brockman from Gaia & I absolutely recommend her. I had to switch because of insurance and that is the only reason I didn't stay with her the whole pregnancy.
I switched to the Stony Brook Midwives. I live in central Nassau as well & I traveled to their Islip Terrace office. They were excellent & I would recommened them 100% as well if you were willing to travel.

Re: Which Midwife would you recommend?
I started with Dale at Gaia, but switched to Stony Brook Midwives, partly because they seem to have more authority at the hospital partly b/c if Dale wasn't available I couldn't deliver in Huntington & would have to go to Susan's hospital.
Can't say enough wonderful things about the SB Midwives!!! I had a fantastic experience with them & with SB Hospital.

Thank you all for the help.
Where did you deliver? I feel like there are a lot more options in Suffolk than in Nassau...
I delivered at home. But Dale Cook's group delivers from Nassau Medical Center and Huntington Hospital.
Nassau Medical Center is the only LI hospital with a birthing tub, so if you want a water birth that is your only option other than a home birth.
