Sutter Davis hospital (in Davis) is not home birth, but a great place to have a baby with a midwife (in the water!) and covered by mediCal. Good backup plan.

Can anyone recommend any other midwives in the Sacramento area who may be able to take on a birth in the next week or two? We are really unhappy with our midwife...

I may have a friend Michelle Harmon Lockett but I'm not sure if she's still around or available. I sent her a message.

Did you call One Heart again? What about Family Tree Midwifery Care? Randi trained under One Heart.
Kitty L. replied:
I hadn't heard of Family Tree. I'll look their number up and try them! My husband is also going to try to let Tuesday know our concerns when he calls he today, but we don't have the impression she'll take our concerns seriously.
If anyone knows of a lactation consultant, midwife, or doula looking for some help let me know! Xoxo
