I don’t know if you are still pregnant or not, but how far away are you from Cincinnati, OH? It looks fairly close on the map. Sucks that you are surrounded by states where midwifery is illegal and the ones that aren’t have pretty far boarder where you live. I have heard of ppl who travel to birth in other states they go live here for around 2 weeks surrounding the expectant birth time. Whatever it takes. And I’d write to my senators to let them know that they really are endangering the lives of mother’s ad babies by taking away our rights to birthing choices.
I live in Utah, home of the epidural. But there is a very supportive community for Midwives here. We even have a few private birthing centers.
I hope you are able to find the means to birth the way you feel comfortable with.
