Hi sorry I don't have an answer to your question but I did want to mention you're a lot more likely to get answers / recommendations from the natural birth community. It's VERY active :)

I second this. There are a number of Portlanders on there too. Are you looking for a particular type of birth? HBAC, MW/BC, MW/Hospital, MW/OB Hospital etc.

I don't have a recommendation, but I know who would: Arwyn of the Raising my Boychick blog: http://www.raisingmyboychick.com

She's a natural birth advocate and prenatal massage therapist. If anyone would know the resources in your area, it's her. You can tell her Heather Freeman sent you :)
