I have a first-time-mom friend in the Denver area. What's the birthing climate like there? Doula/doctor/midwife recommendations? Hospital/birth center recommendations?...

Where in the Denver area? If she's near Boulder, I can give a few recommendations. Otherwise, yes, Mountain Midwifery and Swedish hospital are both wonderful!
