Re: New to Nashville, TN
I live in Clarksville, but one of my friends uses a midwife who alternates between Clarksville and Nashville: Bobbi Stidham. Perhaps she will have recommendations on the other fronts

I thought your proximity to her was worth mentioning. I'm sure A TON of Mamas here on DS would jump at the chance to have her deliver their Baby. Last edited by Steph Ed; 11-30-2012 at 02:11 PM. |

Welcome to Nashville. There are lots of goods pediatricians. We go to a doc in the Heritage group in Green Hills. A lot of people also recommend the Old Harding group and Green Hills pediatrics. As far as Homebirth midwives, I've heard rave reviews about Susie Meeks. OB wise, I went to Sharon Norman at Baptist prior to pregnancy. I used the Vanderbilt Midwives for my birth, although I ended up with a CS. I plan to use them again for a VBAC attempt with my next pregnancy. Message me if you have any other questions.

Re: New to Nashville, TN
I live about 2 hrs from Nashville, and am using a WONDERFUL MW now, Sheryl Shafer. She travels far and wide from what I can tell. I also agree with the PP about looking into The Farm in Summerville- Wow! Last time I looked, their CS rate was TWO percent.

If you are closer to Lebanon, I've been going to the Women's Health Center at UMC and seeing midwife Heather Potts. Another great place, and I rarely have to wait past my appt time even though the waiting room is usually very busy. Last week, I was 15 minutes early and she took me in 5 minutes after I got there. I've never had a doctor see me early before! If you are near Mt Juliet, I'd also recommend Dr. Asha Joseph at Centennial Pediatrics in Mt Juliet. She is wonderful - she doesn't talk down to you or take your concerns lightly. She's one of the only pediatricians I've had that will fully explain something, like what that ominous rash really is, or why it couldn't be anything but such and such. Good luck! We moved here because my husband is a musician, but nearest family is about 500 miles away. It can be tough!

Hi there! We moved to the Nashville area in March. I'm done having babies but I've gotten involved with the birth community here since I'm a trained birth doula and now pursuing postpartum doula work. Are you on FB? If so, I can connect you with some groups, including the Nashville Birth Network. NBN also has a website and Google group. You can PM me on here for more info. Please let me know how I can help!
