My Midwife

If you are in the Tri-Cities area (Richland, Kennewick, Pasco) and are looking for a good midwife, you should contact Shannon Bennett. She’s a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) with over 160 births experience over the last 3 years and has been involved with births for the last 9 years. Shannon’s quiet eyes, calm voice, and gentle hands were what I clung to desperately for twenty something hours before my precious breech baby was born in my bedroom. She is married with 4 children and lives in a beautiful, well-kept house in West Richland. You can e-mail her at <slbennett@verizon.net>.

I’m blogging this because none the midwives around here have their own web sites which made them invisible online. It was REALLY hard for me to find one when I was pregnant the first time … not to mention there are hardly any midwives around here anyway. Just three or four, I think.

EDITED TO ADD: She was also my midwife for my second baby and here she is with him, less than 24 hours old. I am really blessed to have her for my midwife. And she lives only 20 minutes away.

EDITED AGAIN TO ADD: She was my midwife for my third and fourth babies, too. She’s great. Pictures from Thane’s birth below.
