| The Nurse-Midwives of West Suburban Midwife
Associates, Ltd are delighted to introduce you to our practice: Gayle Riedmann CNM and Julie Marks CNM are the two Certified Nurse-Midwives, attending births at the Alternative Birthing Center of the Family Birthing Center at Resurrection/West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, Illinois. |
|
| West Suburban Midwife Associates is a unique CNM-owned midwifery practice, one of the few in Illinois. This means we are not governed by hospital, community health center or physician employment, which allows us to give the power of birth back to the woman.... with support and encouragement from us! We utilize non-intervention therapies to promote the natural progress of labor, such as hydrotherapy, optimal positioning, music, therapeutic touch and labor support. It is your birth, and our role is to ensure safe passage for you and your baby. | |
| We offer on-site ultrasound, laboratory
services (bloodwork), Bradley Childbirth Classes and Hypnosis
for Childbirth Classes. |
|
Clients who desire a midwife attended birth can become familiar with our practice and staff by scheduling a free consultation visit. Free consultations are 20 minute appointments that allow you to meet one of the midwives, see the office, and ask practice philosophy questions. |

 |
|
| We will explain our philosophy describe the many non-interventive birthing options supported in our practice, including use of the the Alternative Birthing Center and choosing waterbirth. | |
