Wyoming Midwives

Hello!  I am Lynda Sizemore, a certified/registered midwife in the state of Colorado who honors and respects a woman's desire to birth with confidence with minimal interference. We at C.A.N. assist families deliver approx. 40 babies each year in the home. If a lady needs to transfer or transport to a hospital, I'll remain to support her there rare as that occurs.

Today's parents need to realize more than ever that normal birth should not be a medical event that takes place only in institutions.  Low risk mothers can have qualified and experienced help at home without unnecessary medical interventions. "Less is best" is my motto, and we at C.A.N. would be happy to assist and minister to you mentally, physically and spiritually during this amazing childbearing year. 

I am a former Labor & Delivery nurse turned childbirth educator, then monitrice, also a LLL leader and a lactation nurse. When I realized my ultimate calling was to serve families at home in 1982, I began homebirth midwifery training. My husband and I have three grown children, and our first grandbaby a boy, was born in 1999 to our son and his wife with my help, as well as our younger daughter and her husband's first baby in 2004, a girl.  Since then, two additional grandchildren have come into our lives in 2006, and I love the nickname "granny midwife" by all!

My assistant and I serve all over N. Colorado and S. Wyoming. If you see my Colorado "MIDWIFE" car plates, please wave!

My experience in birth includes over 1300 births as of March 2006. I enjoy helping moms with VBAC birth, waterbirth, dad catching, siblings present, and more. My fee is $2,800 depending on discounts, and location. We can assist you in billing your insurance provider, participate in CHPS+ for those who don't qualify for Medicaid, and do accept payment plans. My services continue to expand and include the same personalized one-on-one care that midwives are well known for. We, "A Better Birth" Childbirth Alternative Network, are a networking Christian midwifery practice, and midwifery assistant training is available on a limited basis.  A number of my former midwifery students have gone on to serve in mission fields.

The fee includes: pregnancy testing, medical history taking, risk assessment for a home delivery, baseline physical, labwork, well-woman pap smears, nutritional workup, prenatals, childbirth education classes, large lending library, several home visits, labor & birth care at home, postpartum visits, newborn care including newborn screens and birth registration. Waterbirths are also available - ask us.  I am state licensed, FCM Certified Midwife, CPR certified, and Infant resusitation certified.  For more details, please email, phone, or visit my website at the below address.
