Midwives raising money for South County Birthing CenterNovember 4th, 2008
The women have formed the nonprofit Community Alliance for Birth Options. They will hold their first major fundraiser Nov. 11 with a screening of “Orgasmic Birth,” a documentary on birth. They hope to open the center in December. Laguna Niguel resident Ilone Gibson gave birth to her son last year at South Coast with help from her midwife, B.J. Snell of Beach Cities Midwifery (pictured above). “I don’t think it’s necessary for every woman to give birth in a hospital,” Gibson said. “I don’t believe pregnancy is a sickness. I enjoyed being in a hospital for my first birth. For my next birth, I don’t know if I would need it. I don’t know that I would want to give birth at home. It would be nice to have something in the middle.” Download the petition supporting the option to have Nurse-midwives attend births in Orange County Hospitals
